RE: Debian installation
Hmmm - well I use the tasksel installer to choose the packages, x in a few
(X windows system, desktop environment, mail server, web server, C++ and
Python)
Then finish, then skip the advanced version (dselect),
It then builds the package list.
3 upgraded, 517 news installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 53.5MB.285MB of archives. Aftr unpacking 780MB will be used.
E: Sorry, you don’t have enough freespace in your /var/cache/apt/archives/
to holll the .debs.
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages
that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by
missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are
important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again.
Basically that’s it - get a blue message box saying install failed, (Sorry
debians not perfect) hehhehe. Retry, and when I retyr I get the same thing
:(

Could you please post the detailed message that you are getting and also
the command that you use to install the extra packages. Its definetly
very strange that you are running out of space even when you have 9 GB
of space. Also your mounting config, maybe you have 1GB main and 9GB
swap??? (just exploring possibilities...)
