YDL 2.3 Partition size issues ?

[Michael H. Martel]

Hello!

This is frustrating me because it should be simple.  I've got a 333 mhz 
iMac which I want to replace the Hard drive in. So I replace it with a 12gb 
Maxtor drive.  MacOS 9 sees the drive just fine.  Formats it, partitions 
it, installs perfectly.

Using the YDL install CD, I can boot, partition and format the drive just 
fine.  I've tried the following partition schemes.

boot - 10mb
swap - 128mb
swap - 128mb
/    - 12gb

boot - 10mb
swap - 128
swap - 128
/    - 3gb
/usr - 3gb
/home - 6gb

In both cases, when I get to the installation of packages I get an error 
copying package to /tmp/package-name .  I can't rule out that the drive may 
have issues, but thought before I go buy a new drive, I'd ask if anyone has 
had problems installing YDL 2.3 on larger partitions.

BTW, YDL 2.3, off this same CD installs just fine on the original 6gb drive 
that came with the machine.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Michael
