Because you installed src and ports and you're making world. That's a lot to do with only 1.1g. > HOw can I improve these results.

Do an install of *ONLY* the base system and src. You should have about 500M free. Then cvsup and make world. Then delete /usr/obj (and alternatively, /usr/src). Now you should have 700M or so free. Go back to sysinstall and install ports and/or any other distributions you want. Or got to a used computer shop and spend ~$10 for a used 4G drive. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
