If you meant 2GB, then what about /var or /usr or one of the other partitions? How full are the others? If any of them are full or nearly so, you might be able to do a fresh install. But you may already be so close to the limit that an upgrade isn't possible. You may be forced to wipe everything and start again. -- If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
