When I try to install binutils, I was aksed to install its dependenices glibc and glibc-common.
While installing glibc-common, I got following error message : installing package glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8 needs 148MB on the /mnt/cdrom filesystem Where as my filesystem doesnot seems to have free space amounting to above mentioned figure. Is there anyway by which I can expand the size of filesystem or please suggest a way to fight back with this problem.
