Hi,

I was trying to install kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686, on debian sarge.  But 
I'm getting:

dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686_2.6.8-16
_i386.deb (--unpack):
  failed in buffer_write(fd) (8, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during 
`./lib/modules/
2.6.8-2-686/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident-synth.ko': No space 
left on device

I don't know what's taking up space and what I can delete.  I did a

hydrogen:/# du -hxs *
2.7M    bin
8.3M    boot
0       cdrom
88K     dev
6.9M    etc
1.0K    initrd
0       initrd.img
79M     lib
12K     lost+found
3.0K    media
6.0K    mnt
385M    proc
3.3M    root
3.6M    sbin
1.0K    srv
0       sys
13K     tmp
0       vmlinuz

Now I'm a bit afraid to reboot my machine, for fear its been left in a 
damaged state.

Suggestions please
Thanks
Jay
