oops forgot to send to list! I think what's happened is when you loaded your Red Hat system on, you seem to have kept the original SCO partitioning.
Red Hat Linux by default comes with a lot of stuff to do with desktop tools, and these generally end up under / (in various places like /usr/bin). You might have more joy re-installing it, and get it to re-partition the hard disk rather than keeping the original partition table. Before you do though, write down the values that you see there (df -k) and when you get it to re-partition, just check that it is picking a reasonable size for each part. At least for a first-time user. Later, you might want to re-arrange things to suit the way you use the system. I once spent some time working out where I wanted to put things on a system, but if you haven't seen how much each area needs then it's probably best to let the installer do the partitioning. Also different distros may require slightly different partitionings. Regards, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, System Administrator Eng.
