Do you really need a 213G home partition?
I have a lot of media files (avi, mp3, tiff).
With a such disk, I strongly suggest you to use logical volume management that
let you resizing partition as often you need.
LVM is great, I am using it on other drives. But you need to reformat
your partitions to use it, and I would need to copy all 177GB from my
home partition to some other location in order to do this, but at the
moment I don't have the diskspace to do this.
Anaconda offers the option to upgrade an existing setup; I've used it
before, ie, when upgrading from FC3 to FC4. There must be some
*simple* explanation for and solution to this "out of diskspace"
error.
If you switch to one of the text console windows (3 I think, maybe
Ctrl-Alt-F3), you may get an indication in anaconda's log as to where
the space problem is.
Upgrades require a lot of free disk space; I usually find myself
removing a few big packages like openoffice before doing the upgrade,
then reinstall it afterwards.
What sort of install are you doing? DVD, CD, NFS, HTTP?
