On a perfectly well running installation (Mdk 8.2), all of a sudden
the X server - installed as the "-4" version - does not want to start
up any more, quits with "font 'fixed' not found".  Bizarre. The attempt
to re-install the basic XFree86-fontfile packages (for shure they _had_
been installed, and the machine _was_ running with this X the day
before, but a rpm-check said "package[s] not installed": bizarre too)
results in a lot of errro-messages, all claiming "not enopugh space on
device". Puzzled control gives indeed, the 2 (!) GB root-"/" partition
being "100 % used" - ultimate bezarrerie, as quite lately before, it
was checked (precisely in view of an eventual, and quite bulky addition
of Java) and found filled up to 73 % only; but nothing, _absolutely_
nothing had been changed, re- or newly installed since.

AND X had run perfectly as usual at the last boot before.

?!?

(And note that the machine boots up well into command line mode as
usual; all filesystemchecks therewith indicate "clean", etc.)

:(((
