I just tried to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a 1,2GB harddisk. I tried to
install
user, ports and Linux support.

This failed because the system ran out of inodes on the /usr partition
during the Linux spport install. In order to get a working system I
changed
the inode size to 2K by adding "-i 2048" to the newfs parameter list in
the
options page.

I think it would be a good idea to docment how to change the inode size
in
the options menu for systems with small disks.

Anyway, I think the workaround for small disks should be mentioned on
the errata page.
