[TriLUG] problems updating CentOS not enough room on /

[Chris Bullock]

Just installed CentOS 3.1 and now I am having problems getting the
updates. When I run 'yum update' it grabs all the header info and then
ask if ths ok, I select y and this is what happens for every available
update:

 Is this ok [y/N]: y
Running test transaction:
Test transaction complete, Success!
Errors installing:
('installing package kdebase-3.1.3-5.4 needs 4MB on the / filesystem',
(9, '/', 3932160L))

I have plenty of room on the / partition, so does anyone know what is going on?
