I get error messages when i boot dsl (some dsl-files do get installed but lots can't be installed due to "not enough memory). This never was a problem before! (my ramdisk = 500000, frugal install on a usb-stick). The partition on my usb-stick is a FAT (16). I check it for errors (in windows) no problem. I have 90 Mb free (of 512M). Could i be on a threshold? (firefox 1.0pre is one of the dsl's that won't load (as is xplanet).

HELP anyone?

example: (tried to load xplanet.dsl)

tar: Cannot create directory `etc/defoma/': No space left on device
tar: etc/defoma/config/pango.conf: No such file or directory

My mistake, i had captive.tar.gz in the root of my boot-device (a source package/non-dsl). Now that i have removed it everything works great again...
