fedora 5 upgrade no disk space

[knavely]

Hi

I have fedora 4 currently on a 10 gig partition of my laptop hard drive. I would like to upgrade to Fedora 5.

However when i ran the install DVD , my upgrade install was aborted due to 'not enough hard drive space'. Is 10 gigs just not enough these days?
Is there some way I can install it without repartitioning?

thanks

If you have /home on a separate partition, there should be no problem installing FC5 while reformatting the rest of the partitions.

That seems to be a bug in the installer. I received the same error message when installing to a 50 GB hard drive. Accepting the default package selection, rather than choosing the 'customize now' feature worked for me. I added the extra packages I wanted after the installation.
If that doesn't work for you, try unchecking some of the default install apps in 'customize now'. You can install them after the installation has completed.

10 GB is enough space for Fedora Core 5.

You're welcome. If you have any more problems with this, let me know. I may be able to find some more information. No garauntees, but I'll do what I can. :)
