You can delete logs in /var/log to get some free space, then I suggest you install parted which will allow you to change the size of your partitions. I suggest you shrink your /usr partition down to 5-10 gigs (I doubt you will install more software than this) and increase / to use up the extra space. The /usr partition is usually used to install software. The / partition holds everything that doesn't have its own partition, like /home, /var, /etc, etc. Bijan --TiqCXmo5T1hvSQQg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/EuhGUof+95vTyAwRAuWlAKCGAzaaNF5FCcR2UCSDgBKqBAqE2wCfTNN7 h0xVz77FVyrSi2P8TZQD7LY= =LPcL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TiqCXmo5T1hvSQQg-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
