I really begin to feel at home with this device ;-)

EDIT: I was a little quick to post this ;-) If you don't want to experiment, don't do this :P I'm still working on some issues... mostly because of not enough space on rootfs.

EDIT2: Bricked it while updating. It just restarted and wouldn't come up anymore. Seems this is NOT a proper way to do such a big update ;-) ...
I haven't tried it with PR1.1, but I have dist-upgraded in the past (including kernels). You probably ran out of space because by default apt uses /var/cache/apt and that filled up root. You should do something along the lines of:

Code:
apt-get update -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache

apt-get dist-upgrade -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache
