I have 65MB of free space on "/". Is that going to be enough? I've already moved tftpboot to /usr, cleaned out /root, /boot/kernel.old, and /tmp.

What else could I clean out if I need more space? I'm thinking some executables in /rescue. "ls -l"  shows most of them being  4MB each but that can't be right.

I don't know the specific numbers of what you'll need but you can probably delete the *.symbol files(they aren't needed by default).  i386 also produces smaller files/mem imprint than most equivalent amd64 bins.

Thanks Adam.

I should have mentioned that I am running 32 bit i386.
