I did have FreeBSD 4.4 installed without error so am not sure why 4.5 is different. The setup is: Machine: PII 100 Mhz, 1.2 Gig HD, 40 Mg RAM. I know this is a low end machine but as I'm new to FreeBSD and am interested in playing with ipFW & Apache this was a good machine to dedicate to FreeBSD. Install: Dedicated HD to FreeBSD and auto-defaults (128 Mg /, 65 Mg swap, 256 Mg VAR, 256 Mg tmp, 516 Mg USR). Installed X-User, with default basic slection for XTree. The install recommended installing Ports and said that it would burn 100 Mg so I did select it. Error: /mnt/usr: create/symlink failed, no inodes free. How can I have burned 517 Mg in the USR space during the install? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Soso Lolex" To: "Giorgos Keramidas" Cc: "questions freebsd" Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 9:51 AM Subject: : Re: FreeBSD 4.5 instalation failure > > > > On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, Soso Lolex wrote: > > > > > okay, here are more deails: > > > > > > I have one disk (Western digital 6.4 Gb) on which i had before > > > installed FreeBSD 4.5 , 256Mb memory, Duron 700 Mhz; So, when I > > > tried to install FreeBSD 4.5 I had one DOS partition (FAT32/Win2k) > > > and I also created a BSD partition 2.8 Gb (/), and a swap > > > partition of about 150 Mb.
