I am having a minor problem installing FreeBSD 4.2. When I am setting up the disk slices, and choose "auto select" (I think that's what it is called) everything is OK. I don't agree with the swap file size of 256MB, so I delete the /usr & swap mounts. I make a filesystem of 64MB for the swap, and 1880MB for the /usr filesystem. When I try to create the 1880 /usr filesystem, I get a message saying that it can't create the filesystem. It says "Unable to create filesystem, Too big?". Why is it doing this, I am not entering more space than what I actually have. BTW, I have a 2 GB EIDE drive. I think 50MB is for /, 20MB for /VAR, and I want 64MB for swap and the rest for /usr. Thank you. --- ICQ #:14518882 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
