I assume that apt wants to download more than 258MB. You can make a temporary link to a directory in a partition with more free space, like /dev/hde8. mv /var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives.backedupjustincase mkdir ~/archives ln -s ~/archives /var/cache/apt/archives HTH, Geordie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
