I have experienced a similar problem of running out of space on the root partition. My problem was because of simple neglect of forethought. You can install as root so you have priviledges, however, do not run any Setup's, etc. as root because this will fill the partition with the information copied over from skel. Since I changed my behavior, I have NOT NEEDED a larger partition than the default size. good luck! ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
