The /proc is discussed, so to make it simple, just forget it. That is not your problem. The kcore doesn't use hard disk. The problem seems to be somewhat tight size of partitions: Device Size Mount point Free sda2 965.1MB / 0B sda8 1011.4MB /tmp 926.4MB With 1GB /tmp file operation that want to work on 2 GB file will have a problem if it uses /tmp. Download will use /tmp sometimes. The problem is that / is full and it is on primary partition. There is few solutions to make another bigger, and move everything there, or to delete some of content. What is in / to use 965 MB I can only guess. I was looking few directories that are left in your / directory: 76M /lib 7.3M /bin 112K /dev 41M /etc 60K /srv 9.0M /sbin Nothing close to 965 MB. For instance /root has some big files that can be moved to your home directory. It could be old /tmp and /var that have files that are not deleted before you mounted partitions on that directories and they take place on hard disk. I would check /root (home of root user) first and move large files to your home directory. If that doesn't help, than, end GUI session (log out > end current session) go to console with Ctrl+Alt+F2 login as root, and: init 1 umount /tmp ls -al /tmp if you see any files delete them. cd /tmp rm -IR ./* # check man page. The rm command can do a damage. cd Mount /tmp again: mount /dev/sda8 /tmp Now /var: umount /var ls -al /var if you see any files delete them. cd /var rm -IR ./* # check man page. The rm command can do a damage. cd mount /dev/sda6 /var back to GUI init 5 Apropos download: To download you can use console program: wget -c <URL> started in directory where you want to save file. Recently I stopped download and opted not to delete temporary file in download directory. It was ending with *.iso.part. Renaming *.iso.part to *.iso and starting 'wget -c <URL>', with server address instead of <URL>, in that directory wget picked up and downloaded the rest (first surprise, somewhat expected). That was Alpha1 and iso works in VirtualBox (second surprise, not really expected). -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
