Hi, I have an install problem that is driving me nuts (really only a short drive). I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my home machine and everything works fine until I add packages and at that time I get the file system full error message. The system is set up with: / 40meg /var 50meg swap 125meg /local 100meg /home 100meg /usr/X11R6 200meg /usr 400meg. What I did was load the X11-developers distribution and when asked about loading the ports distribution replied Yes. I then setup a user, passwords and screensaver. I then rebooted the system and configured mykernel ( the system has a P/S mouse ), ran make and install and then rebooted again. The system then came up with my kernel, so I could configure X11 and then I tried to do the package adds. I selected a smallish subset of the packages and started install. It got through about 95% through the install and then started to get the file system is full errors. When I looked at the FS's it was /usr that was full. So I started again, but this time I did load the ports distribution. Again, everything loaded fine until the package adds, and again the file system is full errors. But this time when I checked, it was the / FS that was full. I have setup ppp during the initial load (never used it or changed anything) and also loaded apache (again loaded during setup only). Anyone have any ideas what the heck is going on here. Do I just need to increase the FS's (or add another for /etc?) or is it something more subtle? Thanks in advance, Jim
