Hello, 

thanks for the feedback,

the target USB has 16G and has been emptied and has fat layout.

- The partition set up is the "auto" option, so that should be ok since default ...?

- I also don't choose to install x* and *games packages at install ..

I have had sometimes full root in systems due to excess files in dev,

however I never had any system with default partition install complaining 

about space,  especially when there is 15/16GB available ...

- the error message as i recall states that /usr is full

- I don't completly understand the feedback from the error : make : I dont know how to make 

Again thank you for your input,

i will seek to try this week with a custom parttion layout when installing instead

of the default and offer /usr some extra space to breath ... will report back in

comming days

regards,

eelco vitalis

If the relinking on boot says the disk is full, then the disk is full.
The first thing to check and show here is your disk partitioning, obviously.

No. It's just a disk, albeit slower.

No, you can't. You need to have enough space.

Hardly. But it's impossible to say, as you don't
disclose anything about your disk partitions.
