How to install a new kernel when your / partition is neary full?
Hi,
I am now on a 2.2.18 kernel (in sid already) and I'd like to upgrade to a 2.4.x
but unfortunately I have a small (~100 Mb) / partition when I started out and
it's already quite full. Upgrading via the usual manner with apt-get and friends
didn't do the job (and screwed things up quite a bit as a matter fact after
unpacking).
I have /usr, /var, /home etc mounted on different partitions. One obvious way
would be to shrink other partitions and grow /, but I don't want to do that, at
least not yet before taking a look at other (better) options.
Therefore, I am just wondering whether there is any suggestion as to doing it
*elegantly*.
Thanks a lot and good day,
ST
