Hi
I'm trying to upgrade from 9.4 to 9.10
It tells me that I need at least 2000MB of space on / .
Now I have set up separate partitions for /boot (45MB) /home (around 200GB) and / (5.5GB). The / partition is 91% full so there is no spare room.
How best to proceed?
Do I have to repartition to give some space from /home to / ? I tried to use gparted but it told me I couldn't unmount either partition. Do I have to create a boot-up disk with gparted on it to do this externally to running Ubuntu? If so where's a reliable place to get such an image?
What would be recommended as a better choice of partition sizes for the future?
Thanks Simon
