Yep, also I got much of the way through an X11 install [much larger than I'd anticipated, holding off for now] before blowing /usr. >Is there a chance that the limited space on /usr is the trouble with the >install process now?

My current thinking is that if New Year's Day is uneventful as usual I might open the box and [I think the right procedure is] -- set it to master -- set the cdrom to slave -- install this (3d) hd on the secondary ide channel in front of the cdrom Then see about having /usr span ad1 - ad2 >One thing you could do, is try a simple ftp download to your >/usr/ports/distfiles directory to then run the install.

I haven't installed CVS yet, and my iso was sitting around some months before I got it installed [thanks Adrian, wherever you are ;) ]. So I d/l'd from mysql.org the file mysql-max-4.0.16-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz and put that into /usr/ports/distfiles, but tried the make install from /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/ which I'm sort of guessing has been setup for an older distribution? I got this: make install You may use the following build options: WITH_CHARSET=charset Define the primary built-in charset (latin1). WITH_XCHARSET=list Define other built-in charsets (may be 'all'). WITH_OPENSSL=yes Enable secure connections. DB_DIR=directory Set alternate directory for database files (default is /var/db/mysql). WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes Use the linuxthreads pthread library. OVERWRITE_DB=yes Re-initialize default databases SKIP_DNS_CHECK=yes Don't run resolveip to do an additional DNS check before inserting local hostname to mysql database (use if your machine has no official DNS entry). BUILD_STATIC=yes Build a static version of mysqld.

Am I guessing right? Is my best course now following The FreeBSD Diary advice on installing CVS (or is it CVSUP?)?
