I have been trying to install on etch the most recent
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 on an IBM Thinkpad T23 with a Pentium 3 and on a
Gateway desktop also running a Pentium 3 using aptitude update  && aptitude
upgrade.  Every time I do this, I get the error message:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-
image-2.6.8-6-686_2.6.18.dfsg.1-1-18etch1_i386.deb (--unpack): failed in
buffer_write (fd) (9, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during
'./lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core.ko' : No space
left on device


I am not sure what this means (my hlinux books are not available) nor do I
know what to do about this.  I've found nothing googling the problem.  I
switched to etch after it became stable and have had no trouble upgrading or
installing using aptitude.  I'd appreciate any information you could give
me.  Thanks.
