It seemed to me that while the first install of FreeBSD created /var and /tmp sub-partitions of about 250 MB each which were unsued after install, leaving /usr too small to hold the source, that putting all three on the same sub-partition would give me enough space to install the source. And I thought the 850 MB would be enough for everything, but, as I wrote, I got an out- of-space condition sooner in the second install. It seemed to me to make no sense at all. I thought there was an error in the install program, but I suppose, being a very raw newbie, I didn't understand what was going on.
