First, I would suggest going into runlevel 3 - a console login: edit your /etc/inittab and where you find: id:5:initdefault: -change to- id:3:initdefault: ...and reboot. This will still be in full multi-user mode, but without the graphical login. You can check disk space with: df -h Now that you're logged in, you can fire up XWindows with: startx ...see if the errors are still coming up or if your disk space is disappearing... -- Sun Jun 1 07:50:01 EST 2003 07:50:01 up 1 day, 16:59, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.15, 0.16 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * A hundred years from now it is very likely that [of Twain's works] "The Jumping Frog" alone will be remembered. -- Harry Thurston Peck (Editor of "The Bookman"), January 1901.
