I have 3 partitions:

/dev/hde2             38393696  11123696  25319672  31% /
/dev/hde1                99043     36485     57444  39% /boot
/swap                       1024

What kind of data is this? Is it your /home directory or just stuff from
your personal folder. I just backup my /home/jcsitte directory using
either using ftp onto another machine or just cp the whole thing over
the new directory. Then I do the install of the new OS or upgrade.

You've got to look at the partitions. For example, many of us have little, dinky /var or /boot or / partitions. RPM databases are in
/var/lib. If you upgrgraded from RedHat X to Redhat 9,
the likelihood of such partitioning is even higher.


Believe vme, better to be warned of not enough space than discovering it
2/3 of the way through the upgrade.
