Well, your / partition is full. You can edit on /var, /usr, /home because they are on separate partitions. You have to find out why is full; du(1) is your frient for that. If you don't have a partition mounted on /tmp then this is your answer. See what is in /tmp, delete what is not needed, symlink /tmp to /var/tmp. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
