I find that for installation on such small HDs it's better to have only 
two partitions on the primary HD, / and swap. As it is now, you have ca 
600 MB free on ad0 but you're still running out of space. With such 
small partitions, even 200 MB of free space scattered across all 
partitions might be exactly what you're missing in that one vital place.

I've just put together a system consisting of 4.11-STABLE, x.org 6.8.1 
and KDE 3.3.2 on a machine with two hard drives: 2.0 GB + 1.2 GB. I even 
have full sources and all the port distfiles. It's my mom's solitaire 
machine :)
