I seem to be unable to create a file larger than 2MB on my new system.

It consists of:

	ISC 2.0.2
	Gateway 2000 386-20 
	8MB Ram
	120MB Seagate Hard Drive

 I have installed the following packages

	Core System
	Kernel Configuration
	Streams
	TCP/IP
	X11R3

 Is there some trick to achieving realistic file sizes? I am trying to get
 some software packages installed, and the tar files are much larger than 
 2MB. Is it really possible that I cannot create larger files??? I have 
 looked at all the documentation that I got (not much), and can't find any
 references to file system limitations. Any replies/info about how to
 overcome this will be greatly appreciated.
