Using the incremental approach seems to be working. I've doing glibc, now a*, working my way up.

Thanks,

After dependencies are resolved and download occurs, the update starts, but fails with these messages:

Can anyone explain what needs 8KB on / filesystem means?

Thanks,

Since upgrading all at once is limited by the amount of disk space available in /var/cache/yum you might try to do incremental updates starting with glibc and allowing it to pull in deps for the lib. Afterward you might update certain packages in a certain alphabet like yum -y upgrade "[a-d]*" and similar ranging.

You could make /var/cache/yum a larger drive depending on how your partitions are setup. The incremental upgrade is the best approach. Also upgrading in a real virtual terminal rather than a terminal within the GUI is safer. If X crashes during a major upgrade you are i for a real mess cleaning up the system.
