Very Computer

Hi,

I'm having the following trouble:

I installed A, D and K sets of the Slackware 3.1.0: basic Linux,
development (including gcc, etc) and kernel source. My Linux partition
has 83MB. I recompiled it with no PCI bios support since my machine
hangs if I boot with PCI bios support. When I do "make dep", I got
the following message:
------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -I/usr/src/linux-2.0.27/include -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o
scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c
cpp: /tmp/cca00091.i: No space left on device
make: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

When I boot with an older version boot image and write at the Lilo
boot prompt: mount root=/dev/hda3, I also got "/etc/rc.d/rc.S:
134822520: No space left on device" message.

The total disk space used by A, D and K sets should be about
27x1.4MB = 37.8MB. I don't understand why I got the above message.

Any clue will be very much appreciated!

83Meg is very small if you plan to do anything useful with your system.
When you try to compile your kernel each source file make an object
file.
Groups of those object files make libraries. etc etc

This all takes a lot of space. My linux drive is 1Gig and it about 73%
full. It would be worse except I keep cleaning out things that I don't
need

Seriously, a kernel tree needs about 25 MB before compilation,
and up to 45 MB after compilation.
