I need to upgrade a server from 7.4 stable to 8.x stable.
I running buildworld as I write this, and plan to build a GENERIC kernel.
The root disk partition is 248 MB which was probably the auto default size when the server was originally built. I remember having to do some scrambling during the last update to free up enough space for a new kernel and I really don't want that to happen again.
I have 65MB of free space on "/". Is that going to be enough? I've already moved tftpboot to /usr, cleaned out /root, /boot/kernel.old, and /tmp.
What else could I clean out if I need more space? I'm thinking some executables in /rescue. "ls -l" shows most of them being 4MB each but that can't be right.
Thanks in advance!
