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. greetings, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
