RE: Review of what I need to install
I am using outlook to get to the list. I havent figured out how to do email on the freeBSD machine yet, let alone copy the output from those sort of commands. (only been using it for a week or so) Here's a quick and dirty method of producing your output that we need, and quickly mailing it to us. Note that because your machine will send the email out with an unreachable address, send it to yourself first, then send it out after (from Outlook) to the list: # df -h /tmp/diskpart.tmp # mail -s Disk Partitioning [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/diskpart.tmp # rm /tmp/diskpart.tmp Now hop back into Outlook, download your mail, cut/paste into a fresh message to the list. Regards, Steve I guess I should put that up the priority list a bit :) Thanks Peter ie...perform: # df -h and send the output back to the list.

Hi Steve, I used an alternate email address which did not have any anti-virus filters and it got through. For some reason it came from Charlie Root. Anyway, here is the output of the df -h command Thanks Peter -Original Message- From: Charlie Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 22:05 FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 126M44M72M38%/ /dev/ad0s1f 252M 254K 232M 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s1g 5.2G 2.8G 2.0G59%/usr /dev/ad0s1e 252M20M 212M 9%/var procfs4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, here is the output of the df -h command FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 126M44M72M38%/ /dev/ad0s1f 252M 254K 232M 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s1g 5.2G 2.8G 2.0G59%/usr /dev/ad0s1e 252M20M 212M 9%/var procfs4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc First off, KDE and openoffice can require up to 3Gig space to install from ports. This is an unfortunate situation. Someone has mentioned that openoffice can be installed via packages. Do a quick search through the archives and you should find out how to do that. If you have another hard disk laying around, you could put that in the system and symlink (or reinstall) to it. Sorry I don't have a better solution. Installing your software (the large ones) as packages may get around this problem, or someone else may have a decent solution for this problem.
