SXDE upgrade: how much diskspace is needed, and where?

I have an existing SXDE 9/07 install and would like to upgrade it to 1/08. I started the process, pointing it at my existing driver, and the upgrader halted, complaining about 'Insufficient disk space.' But it gave no guidance as to how much would be necessary or what mountpoints I could use as backup points. The upgrade guide (http://developers.sun.com/sxde/upgrade_guide.jsp) is no help. Any ideas?

The upgrade script is attempting to make a backup copy of your current OS, so it basically needs the same amount of space that is currently used for your root partition (and /usr if you have it as a separate partition). I haven't done a standard upgrade in a while (I now just do live upgrades), but I believe the installation needs a device name, not a mountpoint. Something like /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s7 should be given.

  • Need to add RAM to elitebook 2740p. How much can I add and where can I buy

    I have an elitebook 2740p (product # WS272AW).  Currently I have the original 2gig of RAM but I'd like to upgrade to at least 4 gig or even more if possible.  How much am I able to add and where can I buy RAM?
    Kindest Regards
    Chris

    from looking online it looks as though your model can take 8Gb maximum.
    I have recently been using a site called Mr Memory, they have your model listed on their site - elitebook 2740p

  • Can you get the plan headphones with a remote(like you do when you first buy a smaller gb ipod)? if so how much do they rage and where can you order then?

    i've been having a hard time just finding a good/not over 30$ headphones that will go with cause the the headphones i
    got are dead and not working no longer and you know parents or anyone these's days that are not willing to go
    buy something that isnt rescearched yet! and i even want a good pair but not have to spend 70$ on them and to
    know they might stop working in the next month/year or two!!

    That's a 3rd gen iPod shuffle, so do not get the new Apple EarPod headphones.  Based on posts I've read here, they do not work with the 3rd gen shuffle.
    You can still find the old version of the Apple headphones with remote, at online stores like Amazon.  They are like the one that came with your shuffle, except they usually have a microphone on the remote nub.
    Alternately, you can use something like this adapter with remote controls

    and connect ANY headphones.

  • I need to add more RAM, what do I do and how much do I need?

    I have an imac. It is a 21" 2011, 10.8 op system  with 4 gigs of ram. It has begun to show the "colored wheel" and a few of the programs that require a lot of ram lock up. I was told I needed more RAM. Where do I buy it, what kind do I need, and how much do I need?
    Do I need to buy it in pairs?
    Thanks for the help, Mike

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

  • How much time is needed to receive a gift

    I've sent a gift to a friend, one our ago. He did not get it yet. How much time is needed?

    Perhaps he should look in any spam/junk filters that may be filtering his account. Check for filtering by his email service, his ISP and his client app itself.

  • HT1766 Restore backup function says there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need on my iPhone?

    My family member's iPhone recently erased all of its contact information, with no action taken by my family member. She is trying to use the restore backup function to recover her contacts.
    The restore backup functions says that there is not enough space on my iPhone to restore backup. How do I fix this/how do I know how much space I need to complete this backup?
    We have removed the majority of pictures from her phone, and she has 4.1 GB of memory free.
    Thank you!

    You need at least as much space as you have used on the iPod. Could be as much as 64 GB but is probably much less.
    Find a way to delete what you do not need on the computer. Start by emptying the Recycle Bin.

  • How do I calculate how much space I need?

    Capturing video from VHS to edit and convert to digital media. Using Blackmagic Thunderbolt Extreme interface. Video is uncompressed when captured. Don't know how much space I need on HD. I have a dozen tapes ranging from 60-90 minutes. Need to capture and return tapes prior to taking time to edit. (Local event, not pirating).

    I think I'll have to try DV instead, a 1TB won't hold them all. Hmmm...
    Thanks for the info.

  • How do I determine how much space is needed to backup my contacts?

    I'd like to figure out how much space I need in order to backup my contacts to icloud.

    iCloud contacts are not part of the iCloud backup, they are just stored in iCloud and synced between your devices.

  • I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

    To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

  • When I try to do financial transactions I get a warning message "You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party." How much do I need to

    When I try to process financial information such as log onto my banking account or my paypal account, or pay for something online I get a warning message "You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party." I also never get a padlock to show that I am on a secure site. How much do I need to worry or what should I do?
    == URL of affected sites ==

    I would not trust that on a banking site. If it were just a forum, no problem, but anything unencrypted during banking is suspicious.
