Tried to install gnome using pkg_add sometime yesterday.  pkg-add
couldn't find it (please see attachment "gnome.prob").

Then began a real nightmare  ---  I tried to install it from the ports
section.  After just over three hours, the installation had gobbled up
some 280 Mb of disk space, so I stopped it, cleaned up what I could, and
went to bed.  This morning I restarted it (only about 260 Mb available
this time).  After just about precisely three hours the installation
aborted because it was "out of disk space."  (please see attachment
"ROCKSOLIDDISKMANAGEMENT").

Installation requires more that six (6) hours and more that 500 Mb of
disk space?  I've got a very fast cable connection, a Pentium II with
192 Mb RAM, and a SCSI drive.

Needless to say, I'll forget about gnome.  But how about putting a
warning statement in /usr/ports/x11/gnome/pkg_comment in the future.
Really.
