pkgadd errors -- help

[Vic Herrera]

its been a long weekend of not installing software, i was able to add
gzip no problem, then i went for the bash shell

permissions are correct on the pkg file,when it failed in the lil
directory"junk" icreated i have tried running pkgadd with copies of the
pkgs in the default
/var/spool/pkg , no go ,

at first when trying to add a package i only got a datastream error
after 30-40 seconds and install would fail now i am getting no space
left on device.

wondering if i ad a corrupt file i tried adding samba , tcsh , apache
and i keep getting the same error, i just installed 2.6 on a sparc2 , i
am using a
linux box on my network using netscape for downloads. then xfer to sparc
via plain unix binary ftp. looks like my drive is full but i havent
installed anything on it
besides gzip yet and there is about 1.1 meg left on the drive. i have
re-downloaded files and i just cant figure this out, below are examples
of the failures

Do a df -kl and see how much space you have free. You will need some
space on your / directory for pkgadd to install the software. There are
several work-arounds if you are out of free space. I found the FAQ to be
helpful on sunfreeware.com
