: Don't you think that people are able to change defaults if they think : thats appropriate? : :> Prior to that Jordan had bumped the root partition size to 100MB :> in 1.98.2.3 in March 2001. It was 50MB before then, which is too :> small even for 4.x. : : Hm, then why do I have still room on my 50MB root partition? : : $ df : Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on : /dev/vinum/root 49583 29040 16577 64% / : : Thats enough for installworld (if softupdates are turned off) : : Gunther Try running installkernel and see what happens when it tries to rename the old kernel and modules and install a new one. Or try installing a kernel.debug (which is 14MB+) instead of a kernel. The point here is that just because you can barely squeeze the system into 50MB doesn't mean it's a good idea to. It might work for a very narrow use pattern, but it will create terrible problems if you ever tried to expand your use and the system defaults have to cover more then just generic users reasonably. This is why the default is no longer 50MB. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon_at_backplane.com>Received on Wed Nov 19 2003 - 08:17:26 UTC
