I did a recommended installation (with some minor interferences from me) of Mandrake 8.2. Then I removed lots of games and stuff like freeciv. This is what my df info says: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 2.2G 1.1G 1.0G 50% / none 0 0 0 - /proc none 0 0 0 - /dev none 0 0 0 - /dev/pts none 30M 0 29M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda7 1.4G 78M 1.3G 6% /home /dev/hda1 2.0G 1.3G 764M 63% /mnt/windows /dev/hda8 105M 46M 54M 46% /var So there's a seperate partition for /var. Increasing the size of the /var partition is unsafe? Thanks. Diwakar <snip> > This clearly shows no file system /var.
