I know it may be too late for many of us and others would not want to go 
through the hassle, but would it be possible for Cobalt to create a new 
restore CD for the Qube2 that will create a larger root partition?  That 
way, anyone who wants to fix their machine would be able to without 
monkeying with links to /home or trying to figure out what's safe to delete.

Anyone know whether it's possible to repartition an active Linux drive? :o)
