'error running transaction' while installing


While I install fedora core 6, I get an error after I insert the second cd. The error says:

Error Running Transaction

You need more space on the following file systems: 14 M on /
I have no idea what this is, so if someone could help me that would be great. This site has helped me a lot in the past few days, so thanks for that.

On a side note, anyone know why I can't send personal messages?

Means your "root" partition is full. Three choices: install less packages or enlarge the partition or split off say /usr to it's own partition if you didn't.

That or you're installing too many packages.
