Re: failed upgrade lack of hard disk space

I have 3 partitions:

/dev/hde2             38393696  11123696  25319672  31% /
/dev/hde1                99043     36485     57444  39% /boot
/swap                       1024

You've got to look at the partitions.   For example, many of us have little, 
dinky /var or /boot  or / partitions.   RPM databases are in
/var/lib.   If you upgrgraded from RedHat X to Redhat 9,
the likelihood of such partitioning is even higher.

Believe vme, better to be warned of not enough space than discovering it
2/3 of the way through the upgrade.
