I am having problems with the partition stage. It says "Writing partition information to drive wd0" and gets stuck there. no hard drive activity. I have let it sit for 2 hours, and nothing. Here is what I get under alt-F2: ... DEBUG: Add mapping for cuaa0 on /dev/ppp0 pid 5 (sysinstall), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space pid 6 (sysinstall), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space pid 7 (sysinstall), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space Can't open input file in dialog_textbox(). pid 8 (sysinstall), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scanning disk wd0 for swap partitions (end output) that is all I get (well, the bottom half of the screen) one other thing, I did not get the 2 pages about the upgrade warnings, just the yes/no prompt asking if i realy do want to upgrade (this all when I choose the upgrade option) How do I fix my partition problem? -Mike -- ekholm@visi.com | http://www.visi.com/~ekholm | quake:nalez ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unix is user-friendly, not beginner-friendly.
