Well, that is a big problem. The first question is: is your disk small or is there a lot of stuff there that should be cleaned out? Doing an upgrade can require a lot of extra disk - a couple Gb or so, but not 30 GB or something like that. You also do not say which file system is full. If it is '/' and you have everything in '/', then it could be trouble. If it is /tmp and the other file systems have plenty of space, just nuke what is in /tmp. Use 'df -k' to check file system usage. Then cd to the file system that is full and use du(1) to find out where the space is being used. du -sk * CD in to any directory that look unexpectedly large and do the same du -sk * command again. Keep following the directory tree until you track down where some space might be filled with old or unnecessary stuff and clean it up. If you cannot make enough space that way, you may have to add disk. Once you get the disk issue worked out, then follow the handbook sections on upgrading step by step. It will work. > > > And another thing is we updated the source tree but how to recompile this. > The handbook tells exactly the steps you need to take. Each step is a 'make xxxxx' something in a correct directory and a reboot, plus a mergemaster. ////jerry > > --------------------------------- > Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? > Check outnew cars at Yahoo!
