[PlanetCCRMA] dist-upgrade question

[tom poe]

This may be the wrong forum, but maybe someone can point me in the right
direction.

When I tried to do the dist-upgrade command,
$> You don't have enough space in /var/cache/apt/archives

I ran the command, df and got this:
/dev/hda3 has 10% used /home
/dev/hda6 has 49% used /var

Seems like I might be able to adjust the two space allocations, maybe? 
If so, what are the options to do this?  If I need to type other
commands to provide better info for the list, let me know what they are,
please.  Thanks, Tom
