If you are awaiting a kernel upgrade, you don't have enough space in /. My current two kernel modules directories are each around 175MB, with /lib totalling 445MB. You can't run /lib anywhere but inside /, so I don't think you have too much choice but to plan for a bigger /. Until quite recently, 'a few hundred megs' was enough for /, now it isn't. Not only have the kernel modules mushroomed, but we are now strongly advised to merge /usr into /. The boot process is getting cleverer, and starting to want /usr stuff mounted during boot. There are ways to arrange to mount a separate /usr, but that's another thing to go wrong/get forgotten, it's easier to merge it in. -- Joe
