No Space Left On Device Error

I am having trouble re installing Slackware linux 9.1. I installed it about a 2 weeks ago from cd rom and it worked fine, i really liked it. However i had to uninstall it for complicated reasons and now on reinstalled I am having serious problems with my install. I make linux and swap partions in partition magic and then reboot from CD rom, all is well, then i run setup and it finds my partitions just fine, when i start installing packages it goes fine through the first 3 or 4 and then I get this error:
'/usr/lib/setup/installpkg: cannot create /mnt/var/log/setup/tmp/controlns2354 no space left on device'
This is the error i get in the bash, just after this error apears setup gives me a similar error saying that the file coreutilties is corupt or the media is corrupt. I found this hard to believe as i had installed from the same disks only 2 weeks ago, but i decided to try making new disk so i re downloaded the iso's and made new disk, going through the process again resulted in the exact same error. I also tryed partitioning the drive using cfdisk with the same results. I know their is enough space on the disk, and i have tried numerous different methods, all resulting in the same error. Could someone please help me, i have looked everywhere else for help with no one seeming to experience this error. Thanks

No space left of device, if caused on client side, usually means that somewhere you have file system full and process tried to use that file system. That would easy to check with df command for start. If you suspect something is wrong with backup configuration, you will.

The problem is caused by ESXi not having enough free space available to extract the installation packages. This article explains how to solve the issue by enabling swapping to a Datastore.
