This is what I found on the screen this morning after letting

make all install clean

run all night:

/usr: write failed, file system is full
/usr/bin/tar: xc/fonts/util/KOI8-R.TXT: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes
/usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
*** Error code 1

Which brings to mind a couple questions.

1. ad1 is a 2GB ide slaved to ad0  which is only 1GB - what must I do 
immediately to clear space on ad1 or is nothing impacted with the disk 
being over full?

2. just how much space should I need? I know that's a loaded question, but 
I have another 2.5GB ide I could slave to the secondary port off the cdrom, 
or swap some disks around with other networks or; hard to plan unless I can 
make guesstimates about the future; is there a space planning guide around 
somewhere.

3. apologies in advance for my ignorance, am just very new to this and 
nowhere near done with a first read through of the Handbook

Thanks in advance.
