setting file system size on install

Well im about to reinstall Solaris 10 (hate that i just complted the 100+ patches just yesterday) because apparently the file system slice / is too small by default (why?)

and im not sure where to make the currection because I actually thought I had done this. During the installation, I selected the drive and clicked Custom install... then on first slice selected Solaris and gave the full hard disk space to that slice... or like I said, so I thought.

There are two different levels of "partitioning" on x86 (if that's what you're using).

The installer needs a primary partition to place all of the Solaris stuff.

Then in that partition, it assembles slices for the other Solaris filesystems. There is a point in the installer where you can press F4 to customize the sizing of the solaris slices.

For home usage, I'll almost always build a machine with only root and swap (no /export/home, /var, or anything else). That way, no problems with space allocation.
