I noticed a similar problem when I first installed Redhat 5.1 /root kept getting filled up with core dumps. The simplest out was to delete (or move) the core files. These only seemed to appear when I was logged in as root. When logged in as a regular user, the core dumps got placed in the user's home directory. I never figured out why these got created, but it rarely happens in RH6. ********************************************************** Paul L.

I allocated 100mb to my root partition when I installed Mandrake 6.0 and I seem to have filled it up with normal operation. Are there files which could be deleted or moved to another partition to create space on a pretty normal Mandrake install? Is there anyway to resize the root partition to give it more space? I have 2.8 gig in /usr and 1.8 gig in /usr/local, so I have the mbs to give it, they just aren't in the right place. -- Traci Collins, MA Professor of Computer Education Colorado Mountain College http://www.rof.net/wp/tcollins/traci.html
