The problem is indeed that the partition does fill up. I discovered that because I have Partition Magic on the same PC running under NT4. I then discovered that it was the / partition that fills up. Enlarging that partition with Partition Magic solved the problem. During the install of Mandrake 7.1 there comes a time when you set up the different partitions to install into. I noticed that that urility also has the ability to resize the partitions. I do not know how to access that utility from within Linux. If I could, that would permit us to resize the partitions from within Linux without having to boot into another OS to run PM in. So I have 2 questions: 1. What is that utility (partition creation and resizing) called and can one access it after installation. 2. Does PM run under Linux?
