I'd suspect that you have a very large error file somewhere - look in
/var/log, /tmp/ and the other usual places for a very large files. For
example, is there a particularly large .xsession-errors file anywhere (maybe
in /root)?
If you want to resize your partition, mybe FIPS will do it, or one of the
*DRAKE programs - I've always used Partition Magic myself, as I always have
a copy handy... either way, make sure you back anything important up first,
just in case.

Thank You Frans!
It's looks like I have no available space on the / partition:
File system 1k-blocks Used Available Use%
Mounted on
/dev/hda5 1075176 1052980 0 100% /
/dev/hda7 774040 992 733692 0%
/home
/dev/hda1 6131992 4434228 1697764 72%
/mnt/windows
How can I change the partition's size and the mount point? The home
partition is to big
and the / partition is to less.
Thank for any suggestions.
Seba fo friends Sybek.
