SuSE V9.2 Professional (64 bit), Intel Pentium IV, EM64T,

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Peter

Get Knoppix and mount the full partition, mount it and start cleaning all /tmp directories then remove any large file like a kernel because it can be reloaded.

You might also remove /usr/share/doc/packages if you don't need it.

Then reboot.

Thanks Donn, I still have over 15 GB left on my root partition of 20 GB, I do not think that the system actually runs out of disk space, there is also a 510 MB /boot partition of which 9.7 MB are allocated. tux:~> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 20G 4.3G 15G 23% / /dev/sda1 510M 9.7M 474M 3% /boot /dev/hdb1 125G 15G 111G 12% /data tux:~> Peter
