The 3.8GB of files under /root looks very suspicious. Another thing I would do is not have so many partitions! If you are a home user installing a lot of packages, Including OpenOffice.org, Java, etc, etc, roll /tmp, /usr & /var back into /, and make / at least 16GB. $ df -m | sort Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 45 20 22 48% /boot /dev/hda2 18778 10900 6925 62% / /dev/hda3 18778 11942 5883 67% /home /dev/hda4 197129 164934 22182 89% /data/01 tmpfs 506 0 506 0% /lib/init/rw tmpfs 506 1 506 1% /dev/shm udev 10 1 10 1% /dev -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFsAFhS9HxQb37XmcRAvFUAKC1W5G8c+eMyE3JLReLio6S4P7GnQCdFPQy v4/fQyX4ZBYCXf6jjp9Xz18= =pDPK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
