How can I upgrade Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04 on a netbook with a 4GB root partition?
- by Blorgbeard
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?
