hello all,

i recently installed vmplayer and downloaded one of the images on their 
website, was fedora core6.

when i loaded it and went to update it, i got an error basicly saying my hd 
was full ' insufficient space in download directory 
//var/cache/yum/updates/packages to download'

i ran df and came up with
[root at fedora ~]# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2              3275648   3145552         0 100% /
/dev/sda1               155543     10126    137387   7% /boot
tmpfs                   127668         0    127668   0% /dev/shm

so, it looks like the hd is full

so, is there any way short of createing my own image, to up the space?
also, the files in the updates/packages directory deleteable (dont want to 
screw things up just yet)

another problem i have found while tyeping the email... the @ symbol on the 
keyboard apperas as " and the " symbol apears as @...  my guess is that the 
person who made the image reversed the two symbols for kick's and giggles,  
second thoughts on the matter? (other alternative is that vmplaer itsself is 
reverseing them)

thanks for any help
Jason
