You've got to look at the partitions. For example, many of us have little,
dinky /var or /boot or / partitions. RPM databases are in
/var/lib. If you upgrgraded from RedHat X to Redhat 9,
the likelihood of such partitioning is even higher.
Believe vme, better to be warned of not enough space than discovering it
2/3 of the way through the upgrade.
