The now closed #misc/33567 problem report of Jan 2002, is now better
understood by me. The report said that downgrading from version 5 of
FreeBSD to version 4, i.e. doing a makeworld, was full of failed
compiles.
But report #33567 has little ability to show that since my
/usr/src/contrib/ directory was largely incomplete.
Also the Linux Emulator would not run because the kernel option
DEBUG_LOCKS
was enabled. The documentation in the LINT does not say that option
kills the Linuxulator. (A missing vn_something symbol for linux.ko).
This webpage says FreeBSD can get by with 350MB of hard disk space:
http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/i386/index.html
It says:
"a more realistic minimum is on the order of 250-350MB"
That 350MB is too small. 3.5GB seems much more realistic.
Omitting the /usr/src/contrib directory saved about 100MB +/- 20MB,
and got my FreeBSD system that would not compile correctly, nearer
to the suggested size.
Eventually I created another FFS partition inside of a MSDOS
extended partition, but only after quitting FreeBSD for Linux, for
a few moments.
