I dont know what I did wrong. But I got something like /mnt mount error stuff when I was trying to install ports collections.(a big part of it) And I got error "can't create /tmp/******" when I was going to config X windows. So, do I need to set up /tmp directory in my partition or it is already in / mounted? And how about my /mnt directory? Thank you for replying. ja ne ************************************************************ Wei Weng & A N NIIIM MEEEE * Box s-1398 & A A NN N I MM MM * Stevens Institute of Technology& A A N N N I M M MEEEE * Hoboken, NJ 07030 & AAAAAAAN NN I M M * wweng@stevens-tech.edu &A A NIIIM MEEEE * ************************************************************ On Sat, 4 Oct 1997, [iso-8859-1] Žoršur Ivarsson wrote: > Wei Weng wrote: > > > > Hi. > > How big should I set up for my /usr if I have like 1500 MB partition for > > freeBSD?
