Newbie Upgrading 4.8 - 5.2, filesystem full

[Richard Beyer]

Thanks Jez,

Here's my df -h
Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a   126M   106M   9.4M    92%    /
/dev/ad0s1f   252M   9.6M   222M     4%    /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g    72G   2.7G    64G     4%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e   252M    51M   181M    22%    /var
procfs        4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc


It's an 80Gig HDD and I was using the sysinstall | upgrade | all | include
ports

Cheers,
Richard
