Get a bigger hard drive? :P More details might help - how big is the disk drive you're installing to? How big are the partitions created in the install process? What type of installation are you attempting - full/minimal/etc ? The minimal installation takes up very little room - around 3-400MB iirc which should be small enough to fit on any hdd manufactured in the last 5 years or so. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging
