I am running Red Hat Linux 7.3. I have been getting the upgrades regularly but now I have run out of disk space.
I still have disk space in other partitions and directories.
Where do the previous upgrades reside on my box and is there a way to remove the unused files? Could I increase the partition space?
thanks,
jim
 
If you are getting upgrades via the up2date utility, then by default, your updates will be in the "/var/spool/up2date" folder. You could symlink "/var/spool/up2date" to another partition or just configure up2date (up2date --configure) not to keep downloaded packages after install.
