To whom it may concern at FreeBSD.org, I am having trouble installing X windows during Freebsd installation. I have the WaluntCreek 3.1 four CD set. After using the boot floppies I made from the cd and booting into the kernel configuration (visual mode for novices) then resolving all irq conflicts,I make all my installation choices including the Xfree86 windows system and see the progress of files being copied for a few minutes. Then I get an error window saying: ------------------------ /mnt/usr:write failed, file system is full. ------------------------ and every file for the X windows after that is the same message. I have gotten to the point where it tells me that FreeBSD is installed and even logged in under the command line prompt. But if I try to configure X windows it of course says it is not installed. I'm wondering if my partitions are not sized correctly or if I don't have a large enough HD. I'm installing onto a 540MB disk which I though would be big enough although I can't find anywhere that says what the minimum space is. I have tried making the /usr partition as large as possible and also using the default both with the same result. Here is what the default is: Mount_____Size / 32mb swap 261mb /var 30mb /usr 193mb Any help is appreciated.
