I just purchased FreeBSD 5.1 and got it installed sucessfully-YEAH!-yesterday. I am a "new newbie" with no previous experience with UNIX, so I feel this is a wonderful accomplishment. I ran accross one problem, though. Every time I installed ALL, the installation froze after about 30 minutes. I tried this about 8 times and realized that every time it froze on the exact same place. I eventually came to the conclusion that ALL could not fit on my hard drive (4Gb total) and installed the USER configuration with the X thing and only KDE packages and the installation was successful. So was my conclusion correct? Do I need a larger harddrive? Is 4Gb not enough for ALL? How big is FreeBSD anyway?
