I'm pretty CLI stupid (as will be apparent here, no doubt), so I'd appreciate it if someone with some patience could try to walk me through a fix for this, if possible.

The scenario is that yesterday I had about 1 gig free on my / partition. Haven't installed any programs in the interim other than a urpmi update (which still left me showing most of that 1 gig free), but as of this a.m. I'm showing zero free space during boot-up and cannot get into Mandrake. I would suspect some dump or errant log file, no? I tried logging in as root and doing a logrotate from the CLI (based on advice I'd seen given in an earlier thread here), but apparently I'm missing something in that equation, as a logrotate -f did nothing ... do I need to specify a path argument there, as well, and if so, what? Any other suggestions? Is /tmp safe to delete from willy-nilly? Other things to look for?

Any help appreciated so that I can at least get back in and work on this from within the GUI (so, again, please dumb-down appropriately any responses that require me using the CLI, if you'd be so kind).

Thanks.
