CentOS - Aug 2006 - Can't update kernel, says not enough space

I'm trying to update my server.  I have serveral packages to do, but I tried
the kernel first:

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.9-42.0.2.EL set to be installed
--> Running transaction check

Transaction Check Error:   installing package kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL needs 
6MB on the / filesystem


But I have much more than 6M:

What to do?

Thanks,

That is a common, confusing error.

What it should say is "needs 6MB more than what is currently
avaliable".
