Dear Sir, I have recently purchased FREEBSD from Walnut Creek CD ROM. Having successfully installed it, I am now installing the software applications tht came with the two CD ROM discs. I have chosen DEVELOPER as a install set with XFree86, which, according to sysinstall takes approximately 60MB of storage space. I have a 1.2 GB HDD, however, on attempting to install some of the software, sysinstall informs me that there are errors. (It actually skips out of sysinstall and continually gives "write failure" messages, as if the hard disk is full!! This cannot be the case as I have just installed a few peices of software?? Any ideas on what is causing the problem?? Can I install software onto another mounted device? If so, how?? Can I use the PORTS collection to reduce the installation?? I am a novice when it comes to installation of UNIX, however I do consider myself a professional at installing and configuring other operating systems. Please help. Any assistance is appreciated. Regards, Paul Hourmouzis paulh@melbourne.net
