Lets see if my ability to guess matches et's I predict that looking at /etc/fstab you will see that /dev/hda6 is mapped to either '/' or '/var' and that looking at /var/log you will see you have an enormous system log. I also predict that the cause of the huge log is the cron job which is supposed to archive the log daily is failing. This can be tested by opening a root terminal and typing 'logrotate' (without quotes) If I am correct come back and I'll show you how to fix it. (I make this guess because I had the same problem in 8.0 ML8.2 seems to be fine) Note: If you cannot boot because of the full partition. Boot up from your boot floppy, and then mount /dev/hda6 You will then be able to browse the directories and delete some unnecessary files. You should then be able to boot normally. HTH derek
