Here you are trying to unzip a zipped file.....am I right...???
Well, unziging a file requires sufficient space for that file to store on.....
Zipping a file creates a compressed version of the file that is considerably smaller than the original one. So, when you unzip, it expands to its original size, which no doubt requires more disk space.

For this problem you can delet some unwanted files (already stored on disk) to make the space.


Cheers....

To do it right you should rebuild or repartition your drive. 4.5G for root is just not enough especially since you did not create a separate /var partition.

Definitely 4.5G is not enough for / root. The following explains to you a rough guide on how and why you need to allocate disk space efficiently. example...

You can always boot from CD/DVD and then do a repartitioning
