System: NetBSD zorkmid.mit.edu 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (ZORKMID) #63: Wed Mar 8 04:52:39 EST 2000 jhawk@zorkmid.mit.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZORKMID i386


>Description:
	The "xsrc.tgz" distribution set is not rooted relative to
	the root filesystem like the other source file distribution
	sets. Untarring it into / like all the other distribution
	sets causes it to write to /xsrc, which rapidly fills up
	the root partition if one has accepted sysinst's default
	partition sizing.

	ftp to ftp.netbsd.org, and:

ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1/source/sets" is the current directory.

>Fix:
	Re-root the xsrc tarball somewhere useful, like /usr/xsrc or
	/usr/src/xsrc.
