Thanks to many people on this list I now seem to have a headless
NetBSD system running on my old 660av. It seems that most of my
problems had to do with a Quantum Fireball 1.2G driver. Now, I've
started installing packages (bash so far) and noticed, when I tried
emacs, that I didn't have much space - I am confused about why. As far
as I'm can tell I created 5 partitions a 60MB /, 102MB SWAP, 750MB
/usr, 120 /var and the rest /home about 180 approximately. I look at
the output of the df command to see what's there and what's being used
and it is reporting my /home is larger than my /usr.
Also, it started reporting /home as full before I put anything on it.
roberta# df

/dev/sd0a 62487 14610 41628 25% /
/dev/sd0e 992264 883059 9978 98% /var
/dev/sd0g 882193 273902 520071 34% /usr

procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
/dev/cd0c 367272 367272 0 100% /cdrom
And after I cd'ed to /home the largegst file is the emacs package at
11 MB. And even adding everything else it should be relatively empty.
