hi.
 
i bought freebsd and ive been trying to = install it=20 on my machine.
i run an amd 1000MHz processor with a = 40G hard=20 drive.
the problem ive been having over and = over is 'no=20 free inodes'
when i try to install all the packages = from the 1st=20 cd rom in the
set.  after trying to have it live = on the last=20 20Gs of space, and having
no luck getting it to boot back there, = i moved it=20 to the front 20Gs.
if i try to install all the packages = there, i get=20 'no free inodes'
i did get it up and running once, from = a standard=20 install.
 
im also having trouble getting it and = windows 2000=20 to like being
on the same disk.  your boot = manager doesnt=20 seem to see
beyond a certain point.  it = lists windows=20 2000 as ??? when i go to boot.
if i try to choose ??? to boot into, = with windows=20 2000 on the last
20G, it wont let = me.  if windows 2000 lives in the first 20G, =
and BSD on the last 20G, windows is still listed as ???, i can
boot into it, but then i cant = boot into BSD.
 
i'm running the 4.0 release.  = granted i'm=20 not 100% sure of every step
i'm taking with BSD since i'm new to = the whole *ix=20 scene, but i 
wouldn't think a 650MB cd could fill a = 20G hard=20 drive.  That would be
some awesome compression...  30:1 = by my=20 calculations, so i'm
sure somethings wrong.
 
i'm going to try to install 4.2 here in = a=20 bit.  i'm kind of bummed.
i paid 50$ for the BSD and 0$ for = windows 2000=20 server, and windows
is the only OS i have to write you this = email in so=20 far.
 
thanks
