My guess is that java is not trying to go into /, but /opt. I would probably avoid resizing the root partition, as many things can go wrong(I assume its possible, I have done this under HP-UX, but not linux.) First clean up files in / then, check for a /opt, if there is not one, then you can just mkdir /usr/opt ln -s /usr/opt /opt If there is a /opt already, then do: mv /opt /opt.old mkdir /usr/opt ln -s /usr/opt /opt cd /opt.old tar -cf - . | (cd /usr/opt; tar -xf -) and that should do you. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
