Jonathan and Demus78: 1.6GB should be sufficient disk space. When I first installed, I didn't even get X windows. After you select the installation class, when it asks you to choose your packages, double-check to see if Gnome is selected by default. I knbow that some things you would expect to be (bash, python) are not automatically installed. Chances are someone has a better explanation/reason than I do, but this seems like a good place to start. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Slivko [mailto:js43064n@pace.edu] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 2:25 PM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: demus78@ntlworld.com Subject: 4.4-RELEASE: X-Kernel-Developer Install (X-Windows portion) Hello, I was trying to install FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE under an Intel Celeron 300Mhz w/ a 2GB HD, under a "X-Kern-Developer" install. However, when the installation was finished, it omitted several portions, namely GNOME, as I had requested. I have attempted to install GNOME manually from /stand/sysinstall, which worked. However, the question is: 1) Why didn't it work the 1st time? (the first time, it didn't even install X Windows at all) 2) How much space is needed to do a successful install of 4.4-RELEASE with a 2GB partition (1.6GB of which is dedicated to /usr). A speedy response would be appreciated. Also, please cc: demus78@ntlworld.com, as he is having the same issue I am. -- Jonathan M. Slivko -- Jonathan M. Slivko <js43064n@pace.edu> Microsoft -- is that some kind of toilet paper? __________________________________________________________________ ____ Sent via the Pace University Mail system at stmail.pace.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
