apt-get wants to install libc6

apt-get keeps wanting to upgrade libc6 even if its optional and i dont have enough disk space so how do i stop that?

Create or edit
/et/apt/preferences

Code:

Package: libc6

Pin: version xxxx

Pin-Priority: 1001

To find the current installed version

Code:

apt-cache show libc6

I don't think this will eat much diskspace though.

Ok, I know curosity killed the cat... and I reeeaaalllyyyy like cats.

Just how much disk space do you have (in total and left)... just curosity as I remember you putting in a thread previously about what things can be deleted to save disk space...

Mostly /usr/share/doc
contains a lot of files, and they are not really needed.
You can use google if you want docs.

What is /mnt/hdb1 actually mounted as... 600MB sounds a bit small but I guess if it's DSL should be big enough...
