Hi Gustin,

Thanks for your reply.  I deleted some things from /root that didn't look
useful.  That made a little improvement as shown by

debian:~# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/debian-root
                        273674    267214         0 100% /

                       2955216   1664032   1141068  60% /var


But there is still very little room left over and I don't know what I could
delete now without creating further problems.  Here's what things look like
now.


debian:~# cd /root
debian:~# ls -a
.                      .gconf         .local       .recently-used
..                     .gconfd        .mcop        .synaptic
.aptitude              .google        .mcoprc      testlink
.bash_history          .ICEauthority  .moneydance  .thumbnails
.bashrc                .install4j     .mozilla     .xine
.DCOPserver_debian__0  .kde           .profile
.DCOPserver_debian_:0  .lesshst       .qt
debian:~#

Can you see anything that can be deleted?

Robin
