No it's not safe for you to upgrade - not enough disk space. When I downloaded everything it was 155MB. You need to delete quite a few files from your root file system. One way to get around that problem would be to do this: rmdir /var/lib/dpkg/methods/<some-method>/debian mkdir /home/debian ln -s /home/debian /var/lib/dpkg/methods/<some-method>/debian before you start upgrading. That will alleviate your disk space problem. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
