after taking mr Rasmussen's rminder to check the other terminal screens for output,
i noticed the following output while the error was happenning:
* transferring http:// =snip= /stage2.img to a fd
* created inode
* error writing to device: No space left on device <==this is where the error
happens
* done loading 4195328 bytes
which device could it possibly be talking about? i have a 9 gig hard drive, 80
megs o ram, and i popped a fresh floppy in the second run through just for good
measure. hopefully this is a clue that im just not getting.
thanks,
brad
