Try a minimal install, symlink tmp to usr/tmp, then install the rest without recreating the file systems. 175Mb isn't much. I'd forget X and most of the packages. Install only what you need and keep the file systems less than 80% full. I don't know anything about DOS -- don't use it at all. I suspect, though, all your problems come from filling up tmp. -- Jay On Sat, 25 Jan 1997 aheffner@lakefield.net wrote: ->I made a 175mb partition on which to install FreeBSD, when i try to install ->just the binarie files, it will get to about file 52 out of 69 and say: ->"Write failure on transfer!
