Second System results of 8.04 LTS to 10.04.1 LTS Upgrade **MORE PROBLEMS**

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

While my first system worked very well doing the upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 
10.04.1 LTS. I have hit another snag and for the life of me I can't seem to get 
around it.

The Upgrade attempts to download the packages and reports there is not enough 
space available and quits. It says to run "apt-get clean" to free up space. I 
did that and nothing happens. I have also gone though the installed packages and 
purged those that I know I do not need for the system in question. However that 
still did not yield enough space. Currently df shows the following information:

/dev/sda1 3944620 1K blocks on the device 2848000 blocks used which leaves 
897820 Available. The Update Manager wants some 1900MB more space!

If I try to uninstall open-office (all of it, since I don't need it). Synaptic 
says that the ubuntu desktop and several other packages will be removed as well. 
Can I ignore those or will it cause serious problems?

The only other space on the physical drive is allocated to swap (it may be a bit 
large but I doubt that it is that big. Top reports swap to be 240932k total and 
currently shows 91840k free.

/home contains only 49420 blocks (as reported by du -s)

How can I obtain the required amount of space?
