Since base is about 46MB of material, it seems it could put it anywhere. This occurs 3% of the way into the extration of base into / via ftp. I did burn a CD and install off of that in the end and the problem went away. -r On Saturday, 14 May 2005 at 16:19:27 -0400, Jerry McAllister wrote: > > > > It was extracting the distribution into / over ftp and said > > > > /: write failed, filesystem is full > > > > this was after doing a newfs on /.
