If you do the command df, you will see
what amount of free space you have left on your filesystems including
the / (root) filesystem.
Sounds like there isn't any freespace on the root (/) filesystem.
You might look for core files or other files under the root filesystem
that you no longer need. Where those files might be are dependent upon
how your
filesystems are setup. If /var/tmp and /tmp is in the same filesystem as
/, then
there may be things there that are a good candidates for rm. Also, check
in /var/log for
old logs that are no longer needed.
To look for core files, as root enter:
find / -name core
you may probably delete any that you find except for:
/usr/src/linux-2.2.5/net/core
/proc/sys/net/core
If core files are a problem - taking up space, you
can change /etc/profile where it says
ulimit -c 100000
to
ulimit -c 0
this will prevent core (aka core dump) files from being created.
