This was trying to install klyx with pkg_add. The dependency stuff tried to install TeTex as a dependency (note that i already have TeTex, but an older version) and this immediately filled up /var/tmp. This points once more that partionning / is a bad decision for a lot of people. I have never encountered any problem with a big flat /. On the machine with its own /tmp /var etc. i am continuously bothered with file system fulls. Moreover i am beginning sick with the ports dependencies which are changing each weak so that you need to have 10 copies of tcl tk and so on, or reinstall everything. The TeTex example is particularly ridiculous. > Tom > Uniserve > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message > -- Michel Talon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
