As per your suggestions, I have created a new
filesystem and mounted it on /mnt/cdrom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount -t ext2 -o loop
/home/dahuja/DownLoads/UMLPatches/disk2.img
/mnt/cdrom
The free available space is as follows :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# df -h /mnt/cdrom
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/home/dahuja/DownLoads/UMLPatches/disk2.img
146M 13K 138M 1% /mnt/cdrom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] UMLPatches]# rpm -i --root /mnt/cdrom
glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm
warning: glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm: V3 DSA
signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
installing package glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8
needs 39MB on the /mnt/cdrom filesystem
Installing glibc-common gives me above error, but df
command shows sufficient memory to proceed with
installation.
Please advise on this.
Thanks & Regards
