Not sure exactly where or what they might be, but
It probably didn't do a "restore point". It probably just copied / renamed / tar-gzipped the old libs as you mentioned. These are probably in the /usr/lib or other lib dirs. As root, I would do a search like this. find / -name "*circa*" 2>&1 /dev/null the find command takes 2 parms in this case. The first is what dir to start in. In this case it is "/" which is the root (contains all other dirs) Then the second parm is the name mask to look for (case sensitive) so it will return the location and name of any file or folder that had the lower case "circa" in it. the redirection at the end (2>&1), tell the shell to not show any error messages. See what that comes up with. Once you know the location, then you will be able to erase or backup to different media, etc. B-) On Friday 25 May 2007 7:43 am, Dimitris Kalamaras wrote: > Hello people, > > we' ve done an upgrade to SUSE 10.2 from 10.1. > > During the process, the installer asked if we wanted to backup circa 600 > libraries-system files, just in case we wanted a restore solution. > > But after the installation, the root / partition has lost 2 GB of free > space.
