Do you have "DEBUG" set on in your kernel config? How big are your /modules and /modules.old directories? If you aren't scared way from repartitioning your hard disk, then I'd go for at least 100meg and maybe 150 meg for /. But it may be that you can extract yourself from your immediate problem without repartitioning the hard disk. '/' on my own stable system is under 40meg, and I just rebuilt it last night. (still, if you don't mind repartitioning, you would probably be better over the long run to do that) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
