This is a new one for me. I decided to do a manual update on my 8.1 box, starting with csup. Buildworld went fine, as did buildkernel. However, when I tried to install the new kernel installkernel choked with an error message telling me that it could not proceed because the root partition was full. What! I did a df and sure enough the root partition was overloaded. When I installed the system I used sysinstalls recommended sizes for the root partion, which is around 10G. Anyway, when I rebooted, the system rebooted into single user mode, and that is presently where I stand. I have no idea how to proceed at this point, and would appreciate any help in fixing this. Of course, I smell a newbie type error in all of this, but haven't quite figured out where I went wrong. Cheers... Rem
