[cobalt-users] [Qube2] Disk Usage Problem



After doing a total recover from the OS Update 4 that hosed email abilities on my Qube, I am now getting an amber light for Operating Systems and Programs for disk usage.

df shows that the disk is 84% full

I have no files in /tmp or /var/tmp and /etc/analog.dns is tiny (213)

The only things I have installed are the patches and updates, and POP before SMTP.

Emails in the archive suggest moving files to /home and linking. Does anyone know which files would be safe to move?

Is there any other solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

PS--when recovering from the restore CD, I found out that only a few ethernet cards are supported. Fortunately, one of the PCs here had a 3Com 905 card. I had thought I'd be able to restore from my notebook (I have been able to successfully load Linux and use the same PC Card Ethernet card on an equivalent machine), but it didn't work. When I called tech support, I was told that very few Ethernet drivers were available for Linux. If you have bought the restore CD as insurance, you might want to make sure that you have a machine around with a supported Ethernet card.
