I've had enough of brokenware for the present, I can't do what I

showed that the "yum" command didn't even exist anymore. at that
point, i just re-installed from scratch because it wasn't salvageable.
but i'm still curious -- has anyone else performed a successful full

That's one place you could run out of space.
