Update of MacOSX 10.4.1. is not possible

[marc_jag]

Hi,

I have iMac PowerPC G5 with MacOSX 10.4.1.
I can not update my system by using Updater directly downloaded from Apple's download site. Always I received the message about lack of free space on my hard drive which was, of course, not true.
Based on a lot of suggestions from Apple's Discussion site I made several steps:
- started up from OS X Installer disc and launched the Disk Utility from the Installer menu,
- in the Disk Utility status area I saw "verified" status,
- I repaired the disk: no errors ware reported ("no repairs were necessary"),
- I repaired permissions: process was completed successfully,
- by using Tiger Cache Cleaner I made cache cleaning.
After restart my Mac I tried to update again but without success ("not enough space on my hard drive").

Please, help me, suggest something.

Marek.

In Finder, select your hard drive on the left bar. In hte bottom of hte window you will see how much space you have free. How much space do you have left on your startup volume??
I assume the trash is empty too?

Some report that when you get the "not enough free space" message, you can simply hit the "Back" button in the installer to go back to the previous screen, then continue forward and try again.
