[-- Attachment #1 --] This is about the 6th computer i've installed 4.x on and have never come across this error. After making newfs on ad2s1a,b,c,d,e, the install program starts extracting bin into the / directory. Almost immediately, I get a write error window followed by a "/: filesystem full" on the console. Swithing over to a console, df shows md0 mounted on /, and my newly created partitions mounted on /mnt, /mnt/usr, /mnt/var, ect. After install failing 3 times, I then made seperate partitions for each filesystem, ad2s1a, ad2s2a, ad2s3a, ect and install completed without a problem. Any ideas to why the different partitioning would make a difference? Hardware is a HP "Pavillion" with Intel 82801AB ULTRA ATA IDE controller, onto a samsung "Trigen" HDD. -Eric [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is about the 6th computer i've installed 4.x on and have never come across this error.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After making newfs on ad2s1a,b,c,d,e, the install program starts extracting bin into the / directory.
