You may encounter a few errors when installing Linux. If you get the message device full, you have run out of disk space and need to either break up the installation into several partitions or install fewer components. If you haven’t yet installed the basic system, you need more disk space. You have to delete your partitions and start the installation process again, allocating more space to Linux.

Errors such as read error, file not found and tar: read error are indicative of a problem with either the disk medium you are installing from, or an incomplete disk set. These problems usually occur with floppy disks and may indicate that you have a bad floppy disk. All you can do in most cases is replace the floppy disk with a new one.
