Ok I've searched around the site, I've uninstalled some major programs that I love, but......

Everytime I try and update I get Unable to .... You need atleast 20MB to install ...blah..blah, uninstall some apps and try again..

When I go to settings it says I have 215 MB free for install what is going on?

BTW I have CSSU on and it won't let me uninstall it, also noticed the plastic theme packs say they are installed when i did a installed app check someone mentioned in a thread. But it doesn't show up on the uninstall list.

Also USB is broke...so ANY SUGGESTIONS??

That is free in /OPT.

What's the output from "df -h", and have you tried installing via apt-get instead?

also apt-get update does stuff, but says at the end you may need to run apt-get update to correct problem..

That information is incomplete and very unhelpful for one to help you diagnose the problem. You should provide as much detail as possible rather than just saying the end results.

apt-get update is probably only whingeing about mozilla's lack of certificate.
Does apt-get upgrade want to do anything if you run it?
Rob1n was suggesting that you try "apt-get install program-name-here" for whatever program it is that you're trying to install - does that give better error messages?
