[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, my machine is an amd5x86 with 32MB RAM and 1,2 GB Harddisk. I produced a 300MB partition for freebsd release 3.2 [ftp download]. a) When I try to install the stuff I end up with MAKEDEV returned non-zero status What can one do? b) While installing bin dist one can watch somehundredthousands bytes of junk beeing skipped on virtual terminal 2. Does that matter? c) I have got about 200MB for my /usr partition. Installing ports dist ends up in /mnt/usr: create/symlink failed, no inodes free d) Trying to do something on virtual terminal 4 often ends up in a segmentation fault In case all this cannot be fixed by one simple trick , I would be happy, if Iknew a nice book, manual, online-doc or something like that, where I could find out myself. Which reminds me of e) of course man <xxx> does not work [-> d)]. Thanx a lot. Uli.
