Re: Freeing up space to upgrade OS on 4500
You can use putty to ssh into the OS shell. This is the best way to gain access. Once you are in you will need to be made "su -" once you have admin rights the prompt should be "#".
"ls /" will give you a list of directorys located on the snap.
"ls /tmp" will give you a list of files in the tmp directory. adding a -l (ls /tmp -l) should give you long file attributes. adding "|more"
v4 has locked a lot of cmds out.
"cd /tmp" should change you to the /tmp dir (no longer works in v4)
then you need to diside which one you want to remove.
"rm <filename>" should be the cmd to remove the file
or "rm /tmp/<filename>
use "exit" to back out, may need to enter it twice.
NOW I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN ONCE YOU REMOVE A FILE. SO USE AT YOU OWN RISK. Maybe someone with better linux skills will be able to add.
