[Solved] When trying to install a browser I get not enough space error...

I was trying to install a browser from the browser install/update screen. I get an error in red saying "Error: not enough space to run script" or something similar. Any advice?
[Edit] Following advice I went to:
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html ... .0/modules and copied the Opera module to /mnt/sdb1/porteus/modules. Oddly I didn't need to do anything to get Opera working.

this usually means you don't have much RAM
will give an indication..
this is happening before you get any choice to download a premade browser module, right? if so it's a bug..
at this point there's two choices:
either go to one of
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html /x86_64/Porteus-v5.0/modules and pick a browser, download,and place in /mnt/sdb1/porteus/modules, rightclick> activate
or
if you have a POSIX(eg. ext4 not fat or ntfs) partition somewhere (internal harddrive for example) you can, in a terminal:
Code: Select all
cd /path/to/your/posix/partition
su <password>
update-browser -d -f (for firefox ... use update-browser -h to get the codes for other browsers)
the -d option does all the build operations in the directory you cd to..

Thanks for the quick reply. The computer has 4GB, although free -h shows only 3.7GB. I'll try the direct download route.

hmm, that should be plenty, unless of course, if you happened to be using a lot of it at the time..
i've adjusted the live download scripts, so they should at least allow for to download the server version before checking for space..
(allow a day or so for the change to propagate to all our mirrors)

If the file is already downloaded why bother checking for space?

let me rephrase that: should at least allow for
the choice to download the server version before checking for space
after choosing not to..
