One issue that I've found is that you need / a little larger with softupdates on it. I tried a make installworld on a 60MB / that had about 15MB of accumulated junk (mostly old kernels from when this machine switched from SMP to UP), and ran out of space partway through /sbin; the files being replaced by the install hadn't been reaped yet, so the partition was out of space even though it had several megabytes of files that had been 'deleted'. (Nuking the junk fixed the problem.) BJ -- Brad Jones -- brad@kazrak.com "The line between good and evil, hope and despair, does not divide the world between 'us' and 'them'.
