I have a fairly new RH9 install (which has run fine for about 4 weeks)
[...]I'm getting an error when it attempts to transfer the install image to
the hard drive. States "that you are probably out of disk space".
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/
Hard Disk Space (NOTE: Additional space will be required for user data): "Custom Installation (Everything): 5.3GB"
System as a swap partition of 1Gb, monolithic 10Gb / partition with 4Gb free space, and a 200Mb /boot partition with 195Mb free. [...] both graphical and text install dies about 75% though copy of install image.
indeed, every time i got this error i *was* "out of disk-space"
afair you need a little bit more than the required disk-space *while* installation/update
remove some packages eg. KDE or Gnome, Development, ... and try it again # redhat-config-packages # rpm -qa | less # rpm -qa *devel* # rpm -e package_name
The same has happened to me. I also tried the update from Fedora core 0.95 and go the same result. [blablabla]
It has been made clear many times that upgrades from beta test versions to final realease are NOT supported. In this case, if your 0.95 had been up2date as of the day before release, it probably would have upgraded OK, not guaranteed.
Upgrades from RHL9 were thoroughly tested during the testing cycle. That doesn't mean there won't be problems for some installations. You
do no one a favor by stating "I guess the Fedora team was not
interested in making sure the upgrade option was working. This is an
obvious thing that one should test."
Good luck getting a "reasonable response" with that kind of rhetoric.
