Chris,Could you mount /var/cache/apt/archives onto the SD card so that theI'm not installing any new applications, only trying to apply the
apt downloads would go there? If you are so short of space that you
have not room for the downloads however, will you have room to install
the new stuff anyway?
recommended System Updates, so while things inevitably grow I wouldn't
expect to be using much more space after the upgrade.
System Update says it needs 450Mb or so to do the upgrade, since the
system only has 2Gb altogether that's very difficult to manage.
Placing /var/cache/apt/archives onto your SD card would be a very good
start, I've done this on a number of systems (including an eeePC). Mount up
the SD card some where temporary, mv the directory and then symlink it back
into place. I assume with 20 years of experience this makes some sense to
you. Also pruning your /var/logs directory before starting the upgrade to
get rid of as much as possible is good.
