>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.6.2, release 0; generic i386 compile
>Description:
      As a previous "auto" install on a 1 GB partition, to include source code, caused a disk full condition on the /usr sub-partition, I tried to delete and merge the /usr, /var, and /tmp sub-partitions in another, fresh install.  But this only cause an out-of-space condition to occur earlier in the install!
>How-To-Repeat:
      (given above)
>Fix:
      Don't install source or use bigger partition.

State-Changed-Why:  
Your fix says it all :-) Maybe sysinstall "auto" could be smarter in 
partitioning available diskspace depending on the selected 
distributions. But it appears this would require more AI than is 
state-of-the-art. And sysinstall is end-of-life.
