To: "'FreeBSD Current list'" Subject: Rc2 install Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 10:22:10 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've come to the conclusion that the -current stuff really doesn't install on an 8 Meg machine anymore. I have an old 486/66 machine I'm using to play with the current-RC's, and it consistantly dies loading the 'bin' stuff. This isn't really a complaint -- after the load & boot cycle, there is only 2.4M free according to the boot messages, so I can see why this would fill up. (I wound up loading the drive on another box that usually drives my printer, 386/25 and 24M, talk about S.L.O.W). And it can't quite compile a kernel in one go, either. Perhaps the release notes, or hardware file need to note you really do need more than 8M ?
