Rpmdrake talks about statfs' f_bfree, which is the real available diskspace for installing packages, where df most probably talks about f_bavail, which is what's important for users. If you're using an ext2 filesystem, you may change the reserved blocks count without loosing data, using tune2fs. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
