If you wish to download to e.g. /home , where there is more space, you could change directory to /home/some_directory before running lynx http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/linux/file_I_want.tgz, or you could use wget if it is installed. > downlaoding to /root/. How do I partition more space to root without > losing any data( if diskspace is teh problem). Here is the output from The short answer in my opinion is : don't. Try to find out what's filling up your /root partition unnecessarily, and move it e.g. to /home. For a longer answer have a look at these tools: reiser : resize_reiserfs ext2 : ext2resize / resize2fs ext3 : I'm not aware of anything that can do this. Anyone else ? I wouldn't advise using any of these tools on a system you care about though. Some of them are still beta, and the others are quite tricky to use. From the manpage for resize2fs : When recreating the partition, make sure you create it with the same starting disk cylinder as before! Other- wise, the resize operation will certainly not work, and you may lose your entire filesystem.
