I have been trying to install on etch the most recent

a Gateway desktop also running a Pentium 3 using aptitude update &&

dpkg: error processing

: No space left on device
I am not sure what this means (my hlinux books are not available) nor do
I know what to do about this. I've found nothing googling the problem.
I switched to etch after it became stable and have had no trouble
upgrading or installing using aptitude. I'd appreciate any information
you could give me. Thanks.

Looks like your disk is out of space..
maybe try a 'aptitude autoclean' to remove old deb files and free up
some space .
