Then began a real nightmare --- I tried to install it from the ports section. After just over three hours, the installation had gobbled up some 280 Mb of disk space, so I stopped it, cleaned up what I could, and went to bed. This morning I restarted it (only about 260 Mb available this time). After just about precisely three hours the installation aborted because it was "out of disk space." (please see attachment "ROCKSOLIDDISKMANAGEMENT"). Installation requires more that six (6) hours and more that 500 Mb of disk space? I've got a very fast cable connection, a Pentium II with 192 Mb RAM, and a SCSI drive. Needless to say, I'll forget about gnome. But how about putting a warning statement in /usr/ports/x11/gnome/pkg_comment in the future. Really.
