Hi,

I just had FreeBSD-2.2.1 and iam doing a dos installation on a 1.5G HD that 
have dos files, I also run Win95 on another HD. I had a problem with 
installing the additional packages under <post installation configuration 
menu>. The Index File is found during the process but nothing get copied (all 
files are present under packages/All directory).

This is not the only problem. I tried to reinstall the system later yet to 
face another problem. After i partitioned and labled the HD and starting the 
installation i got this error msg:
Copy returned error status 1!
Couldn't clone the boot floppy onto the root file system

On the Debug screen:
copying boot floppy to /stand on root file system
/mnt/stand
/mnt/stand/help
pid:ic(piu): uid 0 on /mnt: file system full
Cp 10: write error: No space left on device

The partitions as follow:
85M  for /
400M for /usr
20M  for SWAP

I don't see why i get this error and after previous succesfull installations 
(beside the pacakge hanging thing). I thought maybe i should formate the 
partition but there is no such option in the menu. Just forming and lableling 
partitions.

Any help is appretiated.

One more thing, How i can remove the boot manager for the HD so that windows95
starts again without having to press F1.
