You could just delete it from /lib/... but that won't help you much because you can't do that until _after_ it has been unpacked.

What might be simpler is to swap your /tmp and / partitions: reboot into single user mode unmount all filesystems except /tmp rm -rf /tmp/* cp -a /[A-Z0-9a-su-z]* /tmp cp -a /t* /tmp except for /tmp itself mkdir /tmp/tmp chmod a+trwx /tmp/tmp vi /tmp/etc/fstab and swap the devices for / and /tmp either (if you boot with grub) vi /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the root partition in both (hd0,n) and the root specification to the kernel, or (if you use lilo) vi /etc/lilo.conf and change the root partition and then (very important) run lilo to rewrite the boot sector reboot (note that the boot clearance of /tmp will now delete all your old root partition files, so it is vital to make sure that everything in /tmp is correct before you do this) You should now have your root partition in a 449M partition and your other problem will have gone away. Of course, if you get it wrong you could have wrecked your system... Oliver -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd run the output of lsmod through sort and keep that in one window for easy reference. In another window, I'd run $ find /lib/modules/2.4.21-20.EL/ -name '*.o' -ls | sort -rnk 7 | less That should list the modules in order of decreasing size. You can start with the largest module, and work your way down. For example, on the RHEL system I'm currently sitting in front of, the largest module is kernel/drivers/addon/qla2200/qla2300.o , which I'm not using, and which weighs in at just over 700K. -- Michael A.

Try this script:

export module
for m in $(find /lib/modules -name '*.ko')
do
module=$(basename $(basename $m) .ko)
if [ -z $((echo $module

Well, you have only 6,7M free on /boot device. Whole disk is partitioned wery strangely. I would propose for desktop station: 1G /boot 1G swap 1G /var/log rest / Or something else, but defitely not, what you have now. I would propose you to reinstall system and make bether partitioning.

Than see some documentation. E.g. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html Now you have problem with disk space /boot. Later, you can have problem with space on / or on /home. On Fri, 2005-12-16 at 17:26 +0100, gregory duchesnes wrote: This is not a desktop station...

mkinitrd ? kernel image problem !!
Hi! I've found that there is no mkinitrd commnad in Debian. Is there any tools or package can do the same thing like mkinitrd in RedHat ? In RedHat: Use mkinitrd I can give a new pathname for new kernel's modules. Like /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-1 with /lib/modules/2.2.17-1 and /boot/vmliniz-2.2.17-2 with /lib/modules/2.2.17-2 ... etc. So I can just only add a new entry in /etc/lilo.conf, then reboot for test new kernel. If failed, I can easy to switch back the old kernel, because they are use the different modules path. But in Debian: I can't find mkinitrd program. So everytime I need to test new kernel, I must to move the modules path /lib/modules/2.2.17 to /lib/modules/2.2.17.old and move the /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17 to /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17.old, then install the new kernel and modules, then reboot it. If this new kernel can't work. I found there is no easy way to switch back. Because the /lib/modules/2.2.17 is for new kernel, so the old kernel image can't find some modules in the path contain new modules. So I must boot from a floopy or CD-ROM to mount the disk, then move the /lib/modules/2.2.17.old back to /lib/modules/2.2.17 to let old kernel image work. Is there any suggest for testing new kernel and modules easy like I do it in a RedHat box ? -- Tommy Wu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.teatime.com.tw/~tommy ICQ: 22766091 Mobile Phone: +886 936 909490 TeaTime BBS +886 2 31515964 24Hrs V.Everything
Re: mkinitrd ? kernel image problem !!
See kernel-package. It's the Debian way to build an install kernels. Takes care of all that stuff... $ cd $HOME/src/kernel-source-X.X.X $ make menuconfig $ make-kpkg clean $ fakeroot make-kpkg --revision 5:myhost.1.0 kernel_image $ su Password: $ dpkg -i ../kernel-image*.deb $ reboot You might edit lilo.conf before the install. dpkg will run lilo for you.

Re: kernel-image problem
Hi, Could you copy the exact error message and post it here? It is hard to tell exactly what is happening and how to help you fix it. manoj -- Preudhomme's Law of Window Cleaning: It's on the other side.

kernel-image problem
I've re-built my kernel so as to enable the sound card nad noe deselect(apt) wants desparately to upgrade my kernel-image to a newer version. I minused it, and now it asks to remove the kernel and when I decline, it gives a configuration error. How can I trick dselect into accepting my kernel compiled from source as the right stuff. BTW I used make-kpkg (thanks Manoj) and installed with dpkg -i kernel-image-2.0.34*deb -- - Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] Insert sardonic phrase here
