I just got a new BeagleBone Black wireless.
I'm not (yet) using an external SSD card.
After connecting the WiFi interface, I carefully followed the instructions 
at https://beagleboard.org/upgrade

In section "Update distribution components", when executing

sudo apt upgrade 

I get

[...]
The following packages will be upgraded:
[... 24 lines of package names ...]
179 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 376 MB of archives.
After this operation, 158 MB of additional disk space will be used.
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.

Indeed, there's little space remaining in the internal eMMC:

debian@beaglebone:~$ df -h 
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on 
udev            216M     0  216M   0% /dev 
tmpfs            49M  5.4M   44M  12% /run 
/dev/mmcblk1p1  3.4G  3.0G  268M  92% / 
tmpfs           243M     0  243M   0% /dev/shm 
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock 
tmpfs           243M     0  243M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup 
tmpfs            49M     0   49M   0% /run/user/1000

So, following the advice in https://beagleboard.org/upgrade: "*This 
documentation is very new and your feedback is requested", here's* my 
feedback.

Is there any way to make some additional room in the eMMC filesystem?

Thank you.
