First off, your / partition is small. I recommend at least 100M for /. Secondly, you have no /var partition, that means that spool files, temp file, etc are probably being written /. This will fill up 50M very quickly. If you don't want to reinstall and repartition your HDD (which is what you really should do here) you can create directories in /usr and symlink them to the required directories in / (since /usr has pleny of free space) The directories that you'll want to do this with are /var and /tmp. Create a /usr/var and /usr/tmp and then create symlinks to /var, /tmp. See the following man page for more information: man link man hier Hope this helps, -Bill -- It may be that true happiness is nothing more than the ability to *always* know the right thing to say at the right time, whereas true misery is the state of perpetually saying to oneself, "What I *should* have said was..."
