I installed FreeBSD version 2.2.7 about 3 days ago on my 2.1gb hdd. All was
well, until I decided I wanted X windows. So, I plop in my CheapBytes cd and
head to the "Configure" section of the install program and select 9
("Distributions"). I scroll down to XFree86 and select all the XFree86
distribution sets. Then, I head back out, select my media type (cd-rom),
and the installation process starts. But what's this... "Write error on
transfer to cpio process, try of 1024 bytes.". Also, at the bottom appears
"/: write failed, file system is full". I know it can't be full and quit
the installation, then issue the "df" command after logging in and find out
that "/" has 48% capacity, "/usr" has 10% capacity, and "/var" has 4%.
So, my question is, why isn't it letting me install ANYTHING from the
"Distributions" section of my cd and how can I remedy this problem?
Thanks,
Chris
