Did you try "du -hsx /"? > A 100 M / partition is not large enough for present day kernels (if you'd > like to keep the old one while installing a new one) may be the appropriate > conclusion? Let me see (I have many old kernel binaries in /boot and /lib and / does not include /usr /var /home /tmp) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 1.9G 155M 1.6G 9% / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# du -hsx / 123M / It is true that "du" underestimates file usage and / may better have ~200MB or more. Even after removing all old kernels and initrd images, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:root# df -h / Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 1.9G 79M 1.7G 5% / [EMAIL PROTECTED]:root# du -hsx / 46M / System requires almost 80MB on harddisk. Size of modules in "du" already exceeds 20MB, so one has no chance having 2 of 2.4 kernels on a machine with 100MB root partition :) Looking at this, 150MB-250MB seems the good root partition size these days. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D .
