Be sure to exclude /home, too ;-) Here´s my partition setup, FWIW: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 495746 43388 426755 9% / /dev/hda1 10213 3946 5740 41% /boot /dev/hda5 1014784 788033 174312 82% /usr /dev/hda6 1014784 501907 460438 52% /var /dev/hda7 2028739 1434566 489293 75% /home As you see, my / is *way* too large, and I have modules from several kernels gathering dust there, and /tmp, too. cheers, &rw -- -- Remember, Murphy was an optimist. -- Peter van Hooft ----
