Hey all,

I have Redhat 9.0 installed but when I run the update agent it complains:

"Test install failed because of package conflicts:
installing package glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7 needs 11MB on the /
filesystem"

The thing is, I have about 190 megs free on that partition... Any ideas?

I avoid the RedHat update tool, and use autorpm from www.autorpm.org
instead. But what does your partition table look like? Running "df" should
give us some hint....

df show's 180 meg free....

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 3122956 2777732 186584 94% /

I'll take a look at that link.. thanks
