May be think of a separate home partition which could be of 5 GB size or depending on your usage. I don't know how well you can do non destructive resizing of your present root partition, any way you have to boot with a rescue floppy and then resize the partition, but i don't know if its full proof.
Another method i can think of is: create a 10 GB (or whatever size you want) partition for the root file system. Copy the existing root file system to this new partition using cp -ax / /newfilesystem Update all your grub.conf and fstab file to point / as this new partition. Empty your old partition and use it for something else. -- G.Vinubalaji MultiTech (()) Software Systems ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
