So it is extracted onto the memory device which results in an error message (File system is Full) shortly after starting to unpack the first distribution because the memory file system has a size of less tham 3MB. >How-To-Repeat: see "Full Description" >Fix: I just substituted mfsroot.gz on the 4.6 mfsroot.flp image by boot/mfsroot.gz on the 4.6 install CD and it worked perfectly! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
