Since the various menus also have F1 help screens, merely visiting a menu can cause a doc file to be uncompressed. Sounds like we're really up against the wall on the mfsroot image again for the alpha. I don't think it's going to get fixed for 4.4-RELEASE, but we should definitely revisit this issue post-release. - Jordan From: Wilko Bulte Subject: Re: 4.4RC4: out of space on / during install Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 20:39:32 +0200 > On Mon, Sep 10, 2001 at 09:46:21AM -0700, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > Urm indeed. > > It already happens upon sysinstall displaying it's initial menu screen. > > Are the screens compressed maybe?
