Re: [newbie] Space problem - help!
Find some big directories in /, copy them under /home and set symlinks to them. "/var", "/tmp" or some subdirs of /usr would be fine I guess. cu denis On Thu, 28 Sep 2000, Sebastian Varges wrote: :~Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 11:04:01 +0100 :~From: Sebastian Varges [EMAIL PROTECTED] :~Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :~To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :~Subject: [newbie] Space problem - help! :~ :~I installed Mandrake as the only OS on my PC with 2GB and used the :~standard settings.

Thanks Denis, I should have come up with that myself but I somehow thought there must be another way to do this.

Re: [newbie] Space problem - help!
heres a thought im running out of space myself and i dont have room on my laptop to install a 40gb hard drive. any suggestions??

Move your /home files there and reinstall Mandrake. You can try resizing but it's usually easier and safer just to add space. Also you might look to see if you have any non-programs in that partition (mp3's ec) and move them to /home.
