upgrading to 10 from 9


i followed instruction in the upgrade.txt


first of all
do u have libnss3.so file in your slack system?

i get like 30 lines of warning when booting the comp saying those 30 files are too small
and if i check those files, they have size 0

so i grepped libnss3.so FILE_LIST to see which package contains that file..
no such file in the file list..

so what's going on??


well, my / had about 500mg free space and it filled up while doing upgradepkg

i cleared some of stuff and did upgradepkg again, then those warning messages kept showing up
well

any ideas?

thank you

It seems it's from Mozilla/Netscape I don't know why it's warning you on boot.

that FILE_LIST just shows pkg names.. not the files inside the pkgs..
yeah so i just reinstalled all the pkgs
the warning is gone now..

btw
my / is almost 3gig now
i have /home /usr/local /tmp /var /boot as seperate partition..
why is this / so big? --;

Because all software is installed by default in /usr, KDE that takes a lot of space is on /opt. /usr/local is usually used by software you compile yourself (you can change that behaviour, it's the default), so if you don't do that too much, most software will go to /usr which is inside /
