I have the exact same problem and am looking for some help. I have only one box, an old P2/350 with a 'small' hard drive (10GB). Being a total newbie, I let the installer partition the drive using the default config. Here's a shot of my partitions: > df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda8 250M 251M 0 100% / /dev/hda1 50M 3.5M 44M 8% /boot /dev/hda6 3.5G 97M 3.1G 3% /home /dev/hda5 3.5G 1.1G 2.2G 33% /usr /dev/hda7 250M 137M 101M 58% /var Logrotate and a couple other cron jobs complain to me every morning about the lack of space. I have tried all that I know to remove the chaff from the / mount and am fresh out of ideas. My last desperation idea to repartition the drive and start over. So I am looking any kind of tips, tricks, you name it. I have this box running semi-remotely (on the other side of the office) and use Webmin (www.webmin.com) for all that I need to do. However, while I was setting up and learning Linux, I had been using Gnome as my 'windows-like' interface. I suspect that I may have some gnome-junk in there. Thanks for all your help!
