Are you running i386 or amd64? 360MB _is_ a very tight fit for amd64 but you should make it unless you have some large, unexpected files lying around in your root partition. As a workaround, you could remove *.symbols from the old kernel files. >Maybe automatic labelling in sysinstall needs to allocate more than >360MB in the root (/) partition if it's going to stay big enough to >accomodate a buildkernel and installkernel from source. Looking at sysinstall, the default size is currently 512MB unless you have less than ~20GB, when it will start scaling down. Your options are: 1) Expand root (maybe use growfs and eat into your swap) 2) Avoid building unwanted modules via MODULES_OVERRIDE. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
