I tried installing NS 3.0 on a NeXTStation 105, but had trouble during
the final reboot.  Panics and all sorts of nice stuff.  Apparently, the
disk became full albeit that it had 18MB free and a swap file of about
21MB before install (with 20MB RAM).  Given that all the peripheral files
were not installed, I am not sure where 20MB disappeared (usr/lib???)

In addition, why did the disk corrupt and a panic ensue while I was
doing the install from the CD-ROM.  Is the install 105 Script suspect?
I have done 250MB and 400Mb installs without a problem, so I am just
wondering why 105 does not work.

Help would be greatly appreciated.  I had to learn ed all over again ;-)
