Thanks Ed and George, I'll try these suggestions. Oddly, the behavior
seems to have stopped on its own and the HD is back up to around 9GB
without any fiddling from me... how strange!

Subject: [MacGroup] Disk Full Error
I have a MBP with almost 25GB free HD space (or at least there was
that much 2 days ago). Today I get a message saying something like my
startup disk is almost full. As I watch, the space available is
shrinking right before my eyes. I did a re-bong, repaired permissions,
ran cron-scripts, etc. Nothing seemed to work, I freed up some space
by deleting some unused apps, but my MBP has a case of "Honey, I
shrank the HD!"
I downloaded Disk INventory X to see what was taking up so much space.
The only culprits that seem to stand out are a System.log file that is
over 11.6 GB and a .asl file that is 4.1GB
I really don't know what I am doing in Console, so I have hesitated to
delete these files...
Any suggestions on how to reverse this trend before my laptop
collapses in on itself and sucks our entire universe into something
the size of a grain of salt?
thanks for any help
Andy
