I have an Asus EeePC 901, running Ubuntu 9.10. I'd like to upgrade it to 10.04. I don't want to reinstall, since I have a bunch of scripts and programs all set up.
However, when I attempt to upgrade using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
, I get an error asking me to free up another ~600MB on /
.
My /
is mounted on sda0
, which is a 4GB SSD. I do not have 600MB worth of deletable stuff on /
.
I've emptied my trash, and done apt-get autoremove
and apt-get clean
.
I do have plenty of space in /home
, mounted on sda1
(a 16GB SSD).
Is there some way I can tell apt-get to use a different download/temp directory?
