Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from sources. Make a note of this. While 'experts' could install it in less space, I think 30MB is a good number.

To upgrade from 4.x-stable to current
-------------------------------------
+ # 5.x uses more space than 4.x. Also, the location of kernel
+ # modules has changed. If you are installing 5.0 onto a 4.x
+ # system, you'll need about 30MB of free disk space on your /
+ # partition. If you have less than this, you may encounter difficult
+ # to back out of problems with this proceedure.
