Hello,

whenever I try to install a larger package (like emacs or xemacs)
from the packages subdir, I'm faced with the following error:
# pkg_add xemacs-19.11.tgz
projected size of 31453884 exceeds free space in (null)
not extracting /cd/packages/editors/xemacs-19.11.tgz, sorry!
#
df -k shows:
Available      Mounted on
12264             /
294792            /usr

so what's going wrong?

Hans
