| Is that 1.2 GB one a single partition, or on many?  If you are using

Alternatively, you can go on an 'rpm -e' spree in an effort to free up
enough space to please the installer.  For example, whichever of KDE
or Gnome you don't use.  Who knows, there may turn out to be enough
space to re-install it after the upgrade.
