Thomas,

When you get these errors, look over the file, it normally tells you what the issue is. In this case:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.18-6-686_2.6.18.dfsg.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/fs/9p/9p.ko': No space left on device

you have no space left on the device. The "device" is the harddrive/partition for /var.

If you did not make a partition for /var then it is on the same partition as "/"

run "df -h /" with out the " If you have /var on a different partition run "df -h /var"

it will display the diskfree info for the partition of / or /var. I think you will find no room free.

Feel free to post back your results, you will find, as long as you are clear on what you are asking (or in your case stating you don't know much at all) this is a friendly mail list and most will be willing to help you.

HTH!
