Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Boot and escape the regular LILO/GRUB menu and linux single That will get you up without the firewall and logged in as root in a console. Now go to /etv/security/limits.conf and see the file size limit line and change it to 400 or something even more obscene. There is a spurious /tmp file geerated in going to root via su in the earlier kernels which is very large but does not actually exist. Anyway, the file size limit catches it and gigs you. Oh yes, you will need to use a text-based editor, emacs or vi, or jed, joe, pico or nano if you have them installed. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] File size limit exceeded
I've seen this a few times, and I can't remember what caused it. I'll check through my notes when I get home. Do you get the same information if you type: su - You really should use that instead of just su. With the - in there, it loads that users environment. If you just do a su, it still uses your environment. (i.e. ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.aliases, etc;) Try that, and I'll get back with you when I find out what causes it. tdh -- T.
