Thanks, I appreciate your help... I tried the shutdown being the safer (read easier) of the two, the filesystem checked out ok. Therefore I'm left with a full root directory but not knowing what's occupying all that space.
I had moved off some directories but still there's no improvement (mc shows 14Mb free space, df shows 0% availability) Can anyone suggest a means of listing what's utilizing the space within the "/" directory? BTW, the rhinstall-stage2.img file is the only one left on "/" - what is it? (the file command says it's the ext2 filesystem) thanks again /j-p.
