I downloaded boot.flp from .../FreeBSD/2.1-960627-SNAP/floppies and created the disk image.
I am trying to install the 2.1-960627-SNAP release (novice option) by FTP.

Everything goes ok upto where I am asked type 'term' to the prompt PPP > so that I can connect
to my ISP. Then I get the following message(s)

...using interface: tun0

/: write failed, file systemis full
Interactive mode

Then when I type term , I get the following message

/: write failed, file system is full
lock write: no space left on disk

failed to open modem

I can install install 2.1.0 by FTP by using boot.flp from release 2.1.0. Looks like the new
install program is skipping some steps.

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks 

chetty
