Replication adn tempdb log file

I am relatively new to SQL Replication and am trying to configure replication
for some SQL databases for a disaster recovery project. I have several
databases ranging from 100MB to 5.5GB that I want to replicate to another
server offsite. I am starting with a small database. I go through the
Replication Wizard and it adds the articles. Then it sits on the create
publication screen forever and finally I get an error that says the tempdb
log file is full. I notice that the log file is over 10GB in size. Why is
that for a 100MB database? I have 17GB available on the server. How can I
create a publication for a database without filling up the tempdb log file?
If it uses over 10GB for a 100MB database what is going to happen when I
replicate a 5.5GB database?
Bill - such useage of tempdb is very odd - is it possible there is another
process occurring concurrently which fills the tempdb? Can you remove the
inactive entries to see if this helps:
backup log tempdb with no_log

Replication

I was working on a project that use local and remote SQL server. In order to keep the database up-to-date I wanted to implement replication on the SQL servers. But unfortunately thetransaction replication which meet my requirement best is disabled on the replication configuration module (snapshoot and merge replications are active). Is there any way I can make the transaction replication enabled. I know it was supposed to be enabled by default. I’m using Windows 2003 server and SQL server 2000.

Sincerely

Do you mean you can't select the Transactional Replication as Replication Type when configure Publication?|||Yes, that is what i mean.|||Sorry I haven't heard of such issue. If you have no better choice, you may reinstall the client tools to see whether it helps.
