hi all,
ive been trying to upgrade to hardy, but the installation keeps telling me i need to free up 1.5 gigs of space. i tried deleting programs i dont need, and cleaning up stuff, but cant free up that much space on my / partition, since i dont know what i can or cannot delete without breaking the system. i only allocated 5 gigs to my / partition, and also have a /boot, /tmp and /home partitions.
i was wondering if i did a fresh install over the / partition, would i have to reinstall all the programs and themes and settings ive already installed? or are they saved since i have a /home partition? i want to upgrade, but i dont want to lose all my settings and programs. anyone know of the best way to do this? thanks!
oh, and im currently on gutsy.
