Do keep the Golden Rule of disk space in mind: Data expands to fill all available disk space. I've found my usual solution to shortage of disk space is to just buy a bigger hard disk. They keep getting cheaper all the time, and I consider my time wasted locating and removing extraneous files more expensive than paying for a new 500G or whatever. Plus you get to keep the old disk, so you can fill that up too at your leisure! Specifically for Vaibhav: try this to see which directories are using up the maximum amount of space and clean those if possible: cd /var; du -s * | sort -nr The first few directories will be the biggest culprits. And, uh, 4.6G? That's barely enough to run anything.
