It seems that the updater is looking for a a bunch of free space for some strange reason and it wont just overwrite the stuff that is there.. basically my problem is this:
When I boot Linux it asks me to enter a run level. When I enter a runlevel it hangs. It says no more processes or something to that affect... It used to load into KME prior to the power loss yesterday and hasn't been the same since. I have tried several things but this is I am guessing my only resort in updating it. I am running 8.1 and upgrading to 8.1 hoping that it will fix this wonderful problem.. I currently have no network access with the box cause that wont load up. I thought about the BFH but didn't have one available.. Did that help at all or is it because I haven't slept in over 24 hours that I might be rambling on?
