I am trying to install BSD on my LCIII. I want to put the / (root) 
folder on the internal drive, which has 358MB free after Mac OS and 
a 64MB Swap (I have 32MB or RAM so figure it needed to be a decent 
size). I then want to put the /usr stuff on the external drive 
(~270MB in size) to space it all out a bit asI fear my internal 
disk will fill up too fast otherwise. Can it be done using the 
'Installer' application?

I tried creating a root slice on the internal and a usr slice on 
the external and formatting them as NetBSD root and NetBSD usr 
respectively but the installer just copied all the /usr stuff to 
the root partition (I could tell as it was copying to the internal 
drive, not the external). What do I need to do different if I do it 
again. I'd like to get it right the second time as it takes forever 
and a week to unpack it all.

Secondly, which tgz packages are essential and which are not. I 
don't really intend to do much recompiling but I have a PowerCD 
SCSI drive and an LC-PDS network card not attached at the moment 
and wondered what I need to install to reduce the size to a minimum 
but still be able to add devices later. I'd also like to use it as 
a DNS and do some C programming on it, although the C isn't a major 
priority right now.

Thanks :)
