I finally did get 4.10 installed. I have a 1.2Gb drive, but I had to

manually slice the disk: 100 for /, 256 for swap, 50 for /var and 823 for

/usr. Automatic allocation gave basically 250Mb slices (including swap).

I'm now installing the X-Window system, and when df showed about 64% on

/usr, I again got file system full. I acknowledged a couple of the error

messages, then hit escape a couple of times, and it went on. Now df shows

76%, and it's still installing. Something is lying. ;-)
