[AktiviX-discuss] dist-upgrade on an ubuntu box with not enough space

[r7]

hi all

i am trying to do an apt-get/aptitude dist-upgrade on an eeepc. the box
has two [physical] disks, one is mapped to /, the other to /home.

even after doing a sudo aptitude clean, there is not enough room on / to
do it. doing a du -s /*, the largest dir is /usr.

my thought was to copy /usr to the /home disk and symlink to it [as a
temporary measure during the upgrade and then revert to normal]. good
plan or bad? and what order to do stuff in. or am i approaching this
entirely the wrong way?

i would prefer not to do an install from scratch.
