Error at the end of writing (SOLVED)
« on: May 09, 2010, 09:17:18 AM »
I don't know whether this is right, but 2-3 times i got this message below.

Note:
I have / - 6.5 GB free
/home/tim - 9.5 GB free

Has this gone over in size? 4GB>?

Note:
I have / - 6.5 GB free
/home/tim - 9.5 GB free

More is required here. Example:
Quote
[neal@localhost ~]$ df
Filesystem            Size   Used   Avail  Use%  Mounted on
/dev/sda5              22G  5.0G   16G   25%     /
/dev/sda7              12G  9.1G   1.7G   85%    /data
/dev/sda6              88G   24G    64G   27%    /home
[neal@localhost ~]$
Note that size, used and available are displayed.
Used tells us how large your install is.
Available tells us how much space you have to work with.

I just found the problem. Like i said it has exceeded the 4GB limit. I used --lzma and it has finished successfully @ 3.6GB livecd.iso

Livecd.iso is in the home partition. now the size like you asked is,

[tim@localhost ~]$ df
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7              29G   21G  6.5G  77% /
/dev/sda8              15G  8.4G  5.8G  60% /home
tmpfs                1008M  8.0K 1008M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1              15G  9.9G  5.0G  67% /media/XP
/dev/sdb5             489G  188G  301G  39% /media/Data 1 (1 TB)
/dev/sdb2             444G  412G   32G  93% /media/Data 2 (1 TB)
/dev/sda6             136G   80G   56G  59% /media/Other Data
/dev/sda5              40G   14G   26G  35% /media/W7

Also i don't have any swap partition. RAM is 2GB.

Thanks bro, Action solved!
