As far as I know. How can I tell? df reports that I have (among other
things) /dev/shm (128104 / 100% available). Is that swap?
Is this just not enough memory and swap to upgrade that much? If so, I
suppose I can take some of the larger groups of packages (openoffice,
gnome, etc) and update just them first.
