Here's what I currently have. [ronb at localhost ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 35G 30G 3.4G 90% / /dev/hda1 97M 37M 56M 40% /boot tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm The issue came up *after* I had downloaded all the update files. My used space was 99%, approximately 230 Megs were shown available at /. There was no memory available in my tmpfs directory/partition. I believe yum kicked me out of the update process. There were a lot of messages without line breaks -- filled up the screen. When I cleared about 3 Gigs of memory and re-ran 'yum update' it started back up where I left off and finished the updated without issue.. If you think that I have enough information to file a bug report I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks again. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5
