    Problems installing updates

    Not enough free disk space

    The upgrade needs a total of 404M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 404M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

    i get this error when trying to install update for ubuntu jaunty notebook remix. I've tried doing as it says and that doesn't help. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact it is trying to save to a disc that doesn't exist. I'm new to linux so a very detailed explanation would probably be best if you have anything you can give that might help me.

    Anything is appreciated! Thanks.

    df: `-': No such file or directory
    df: `h': No such file or directory
    df: no file systems processed
    eric@eric-laptop:~$ df-h
    bash: df-h: command not found
    eric@eric-laptop:~$ df- h
    bash: df-: command not found
    eric@eric-laptop:~$ sudo df- h
