Upgrading Redhat/Mandrake - space problem

Just quickly looking, I would think it's the /usr that's top short on space for the upgrade.  Hitting ctrl-alt-F(1-4) during the install would probably provide a little more info once it dies on you.  On a side note, I've yet to find a Linux distro (or any OS, really) that upgrades well enough that I would actually recommend using, with the exception of Debian's apt-get procedure (dist-upgrade, is it?).  With plenty of partitions, why not just do a full install and format / and /usr, after backing up whatever you need, since I didn't see a /home in there?  As much as I'm a fan of Mandrake, that would definitely be my recommendation for that distribution, in particular.
