Hi pluggers,
             I'm having a problem with rpm.
It wont install a package because it needs 14Mb on the / filesystem.
However there is plenty of room on /

Also --relocate and --prefix give strange errors. If I want
a prefix of /home/robd/intel2 it complains that it cant 
make /home/robdintel2 

any ideas welcome
						bye
