[luau] Trying to upgrade from RedHat8 to Fedora

[Tom_Gordon/RISE/HIDOE at notes.k12.hi.us]

How are you upgrading (what source) and how much space to you actually 
have in your paritions?  What is the exact error?

I upgraded my old router to Fedora (which was 8 origionally but was 
rawhide (october) before it went Fedora) once and had to move and symlink 
/var over to the /home hard drive/partition to provide enough space for 
the rpms.

There may be a configurable option to change the temporary folder used to 
upgrade.  Like up2date.  up2date uses sysconfig/rhn/up2date.

Hi folks:
We're getting an error while trying to upgrade (sidegrade?) and the system
is giving us a message of something like: "...uploading install image to
hard disk, error, possibly out of hard drive space..."....is there a way 
to
tell Fedora to use a particular partition for the upgrade stuff? /boot has
38mb free, but the other partitions got gobs of space to play with.

Any wisdom?
