	Hi everyone
	There is a customer complaining about space needed in root partition,
in order to do an upgrade from 3.2c to 4.0.
	In fact he started with less space that it was needed, but in the end
he was with more then what SPD says and the update procedure still complained 
about space. I'll post below his sequence of events.
		Started with only 6 Mbytes free
		He released 12 Mbytes.
		Procedure asked for more 5 Mbytes
		He released 10 Mbytes
		Procedure asked for 1.5 Mbytes
		He stoped.
	In SPD it says that the maximum amount needed would be :
************************************************************************
File      V3.2C          V4.0         Incremental Space Needed
    System    Mandatory      Mandatory
              ONLY           ONLY
    /         30MB           42MB         12MB
    /usr      139MB          225MB        86MB
    *File     V3.2C All      V4.0 All     Incremental Space Needed
    System    Subsets        Subsets
    /         42MB           54MB         12MB
    /usr      276MB          375MB        99MB
    /var      5.9MB          6.1MB        .2MB

	Thanks in advance for any explanation.
