The downside to "digest" version of the list posts, I guess, is that I didn't get this until Thursday morning. If you have already made the new image then never-mind ... if not, there was a situation last Saturday, where a student from late last year brought in her computer, which wouldn't boot up. The disk was completely full. Matthew deleted a few things which allowed it to boot all the way into the GUI, and then we explained to the student that she had to go through and delete some files to avoid running out of room. In her case, the hard disk was 6GB; the OS and all its bits takes about 3GB, so all she has for data storage is 3GB (which is pretty standard for our students). Is it feasible to modify the Debian image so that /home/student is a separate partition? Does anyone know if there is a way that Debian can warn a user when the partition is getting close to 100% full? Thanks, Theresa
