Wow. It looks like you're running out of space on /usr. You're going to need more for the 3.X distro, specifically, you'll need more space to hold the a.out libs, these are used for backwards compatability with a.out binaries. If you've got an extra HDD drive laying around or can afford to buy a new larger drive you'll be in good shape. Here's what I've got: bash-2.02$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd1s1a 49583 20902 24715 46% / mfs:27 178591 13 164291 0% /tmp /dev/wd1s1g 2934750 1059674 1640296 39% /usr /dev/wd1s1f 34687 9161 22752 29% /var /dev/wd0s1 1635248 1221216 414032 75% /win98 /dev/wd0s2 859636 392552 467084 46% /win98_1 procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc bash-2.02$ I've got a fairly average configuration here. (binaries, source, X, gnome) One final note. If it's not too impractical you may want to consider a clean installation of 3.X. I tried the upgrade (I'll admit this was quite some time ago) and it didn't go smoothly at all. I reinstalled 3.X onto a clean disk and everythings been fine since.
