do you mean where do you specify the size? You would do this when you partition the disk, usually done at OS install time, and sometimes the installers will recommend some settings for you imho, 2Gb is either way too big or too small depending on what the computer does.. try 'du -hs /var/run/*' to see what else is happening there - for me it's usually less than 1Mb, but sometimes spools (eg, mail spools) will be put there which will increase it a lot, but then this is usually configurable and may well end up needing a lot more than 2Gb.. but as I said, it depends on what you do, it may be a good size, but I would guess it's wasting a lot of disk space on a desktop system -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
