CentOS updates

hello all

I Installed CenTOS 5.5 and i've Run yum update command
every thing went smoothly but i got the following error at the end
Code:
6:kdebase-3.5.4-21.el5.centos.1.i386: Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
    * free   6.0 M
    * needed 28 M
  1:java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.13.b16.el5.i386: Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
    * free   6.0 M
    * needed 37 M
  1: openoffice.org-core-3.1.1-19.5.el5_5.1.i386: Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
    * free   6.0 M
    * needed 108 M
  kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.i686: Insufficient space in download directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages

    * free   6.0 M

i understand that there is an issue with /var/cache/yum/updates/packages space

how can i solve it

thanks

if you have more space on another partition, you can move the "packages" directory there, and link to /var/cache/yum/updates/

Correct.

Post the output of df and we can advise further.
