>You probably have a small / and are getting bit by softupdates. That's correct. I was very new to FreeBSD when I first setup my home PC and not knowing any better, chose the 'A' option when setting up my slices. A couple of months ago, I was down for a week because / got too full and I couldn't receive email. The only way I could figure out to free up some space was to delete modules.old and kernel.old ( I was really reluctant to do the latter) >Run 'sync' a lot while the install is running, Do you mean to start where I left off by dropping to single user, trying "make installworld" again and then logging into another terminal and running 'sync' ...? >or remount / without softupdates. This sounds like a better approach but how do I do it? After running "make kernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL", I always drop to single user mode like this before doing the "make installworld": # shutdown now # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a Thanks Joe Doug White wrote: > On Mon, 17 Dec 2001, Joe Warner wrote: > > > I was going to post this to -questions but this list seemed > > more appropriate after searching the archives.
