So your out of space.. There's only 2GB on the eMMC of the original
BBB and 4GB on the rev C.

So you can either remove stuff you don't need, or use a microSD card.

hi Robert,
Can you tell me how to use the sdcard?
regarding the command “apt-get update”

Even i change the sd card to 8GB, it still says not enough space.
How can i do that?
when i remove the sd card, the BBB doesnt want to boot up.
Am I missing any step here?

thanks

please guide me ( new bie)
