At the lilo boot screen, press the Escape or Esc key. It will display some options for you to choose. Assuming that your normal choice is "linux", type: linux init 3 That will get you to a command prompt and allow you to do some cleaning up. Log in as root and start by looking in /tmp. Anything there can be safely deleted unless you have purposely saved something there. Type: df to see which file system(s) are full. The following command may also be useful in tracking down larger files: du -s * This will show you the disk usage of the directories under your current directory. e.g. cd /home du -s * HTH Brian
