Just re-iterate the problem: I just tried to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a 1,2GB harddisk. I tried to install user, ports and Linux support. How I fixed it: Since the install failed because the system ran out of inodes on the /usr partition during the Linux support install, I changed the inode size to 2K by adding "-i 2048" to the newfs parameter list in the options page in sysinstall. Perhaps the install program should be a bit smarter with regards to inode sizes on the various partitions? Or perhaps the install program should let newfs decide on its own how big the various parameters should be? Perhaps this is such a showstopper that a new iso should be issued? greetings, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
