It probably did! Check you have at least twice the expected size of the sqfs file free on the partition you are building it in.

It was that old check box (PCC->BOOT) in the Configuration setup to clear /TMP on Boot.

Nothing there said that it accomplished this by creating /TMP as a Ramdisk. And it was only 500MB.......'

I unchecked that box and resaved the bootloader. Voila! Fixed.

That dialog really should say something about this.

WARNING: Checking this box moves /TMP to a Ramdisk.
               Be sure to have sufficient memory installed!

Thanks!

Hi,

Would you mark the topic as "(Solved)" please ?

[Scotchman]

Sorry Melodie, Thought I did!

Thanks

Don't be sorry. I was just saying because I find it more practical for the reading of the forums.

You're welcome.
