I am trying to upgrade from 2.1.7.1 to 2.2.5 on my 486. 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 <tmp/doc.tmp>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
