Do you have any more partitions apart from / and swap?
Not really, just /home.
On my Ubuntu 7.04 system I'm using the following amounts of disk: /bin 5MB /boot 183MB /etc 13MB /lib 1766MB /opt 80MB /usr 2605MB /var 454MB
total = 5106MB, or about 5GB
I think you're going to need a bigger disk.
Hmmm... Ubuntu said it only required 2.5GB but you may be right.
How much free space do you have? df

Perhaps Ubuntu is an overkill for what I need?
I just want a Linux PC onto which I can install the package "gramps" and I know that gramps is availableas an apt-get package for Ubuntu. Could anyone perhaps recommend a more lightweight Distro on which I could easily install gramps if I am unable to get Ubuntu working?
