Hi, First the question: how much free space in /var do you think I need for apt-get upgrades?
I ask because: On my first try with apt-get, I got : E: Sorry, you don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives I have a small disk, only 814 Mb, so /var got only 50 Mb. and only 13 Mb of /var are currently free. It is all Debian and the current install takes up 273 Mb out of 500 Mb in /usr so I don't think it's a very large install. /home still has about 35Mb available. This is what happened: 1st I did # apt-get update and that went ok then I did # apt-get upgrade and got the /var doesn't have enough free space error then I tried # apt-get deselect-upgrade hoping that would need less but I got the same error. If I knew about how much free space apt-get might need, I could make allowances. If apt can show that information, I haven't found where it does yet.. My immediate concern is finishing the upgrade. Later, I would like to add all the non-us packages, and a few of the contrib and non-free ones too, so any guess on a good amount for that afterthe upgrde would help also. Hope I've supplied enough information. Any help would be appreciated. I like Debian very much so far. Thanks, montefin SYSTEM: 486DX 66, 24Mb RAM, 814Mb HDD [ / = 50Mb, /usr = 514Mb, /home = 150Mb, /var = 50Mb, swap = 50Mb]
