Congratulations everyone on the new distribution and I look forward to
using woody.

One quick question, though, how do you recommend someone upgrading the
distribution if she only has a limited amount of disk-space in /var?

I'd like to upgrade my laptop with a 2G hdd but my /var partition only
has about 200 Megs available. I was thinking about mounting
/var/cache/apt/archives via NFS but then realized that the link may be
shut down during the upgrade. Any ideas or should I just stay with
potato?

Thank you, Elizabeth
