While running postinstall for the 2.0.1 upgrade my mac ran out of disk space in its default 80 meg root partition. The error was mine for not removing inc.cpio.Z before running postinstall. Now, the question is, which way is out? I removed inc.cpio.Z and tried to log in as root, but there is no mouse on login, which makes it hard to start commandshell and redo the upgrade. can I run postinstall from sash? bob

The upgrade was complicated by the NFS mounting of /usr by each machine. At any rate, I had to reboot each machine before I ran postinstall, and when the login prompt came up, there was no mouse! Anyway, the easy way around this is to hit command-s to bring up the session type and use the arrow keys to pick a console emulator session.
