I opened the K Package kit and tried to download bug fixes and updates.
I am using a 16gig toshiba usb stick as my ubuntu 10.04 system and there is about 14.5gig remaining but a message popped up and stated that there was only a couple of hundred mg remaining.
It said that it had encountered a problem and couldn't continue.
that's it. hope you can help, Tony.
