Delete what it has uncompressed to free up the space you lost on /, and try to extract it elsewhere (i.e., somewhere under /usr, which will be much larger). > I used defaults for partitions, and the drive is a 1.7GB. How can I tell > how much space is left on a partition/drive and Use the ``df'' command. The 1K-blocks column represents the size of the drive, in kilobytes (divide by factors of 2^10 to get megabytes, gigabytes, etc) "Used" is the amount of space that has been used (again, in 1K blocks). "Avail" is the amount of space remaining. > why would I get something like this. Just like the error message states, you ran out of space. Make sure that you start the uncompression on a filesystem that is large enough to handle it. > I tried to gunzip them while logged on as root and in the /root/ > directory. Unless you mount it by itself, or symlink from elsewhere, the /root/ directory is stored on the / partition. > > Thanks for any help. > > lates, > click46 > > Hope this helps, - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
