I had had trouble with the XFree86 4.0.3 packages (as reported here) but found that if I just didn't select those packages for install (3.3.6 is ok by me, after all) then that problem was avoided. However, I -did- select a whole slew of things, virtually the entire ports list ... not because I actively -use- all of that, but just to have it there to play with. Everything was going swell (some packages turned up not found for some reason) until I got to the P5 modules ... somewhere in there, I started getting this: "Add of package aborted, error code 2- /mnt/var: create/symlink failed, no inodes free" and ALT F2 yielded this: pid(...) (mv), uid 0 on /mnt/var; out of inodes I -think- that's exact (excepting the package name and pid number), I'm cribbing from late-night notes. ANYHOO, my thought was "out of SPACE? I've got 13GB to play with! What gives?" I booted into Linux and ran df on the partition in question and found that, indeed, it was only at 35% capacity. My GUESS is that I need to redistribute the four slices into which the install cuts the partition ... but I have no idea how much to move around ... is my guess correct? and has anyone else run into this problem? The other option would be to do as someone suggested and simply install the system, leaving the ports and other stuff for later.
