Earl,
Get a bigger hard drive. You don't have much space and even so, you
have all the log-files and things to contend with. You will probably
get messages soon about not being able to write to log files and etc.
First,
~ Try cleaning up the up2date directory for the packages.
~ /var/spool/up2date
~ and delete all the files there.
Second,
~ Try the packages a little bit at a time... don't just do an up2date
- -u without specifying which to update. The biggest updates will be X
and the kernel packages.
Third,
~ Get some money and purchase a larger hard drive. 20G or more are
very inexpensive these days.
Good Luck,
James Kosin
