That's most likely because your root partition (/) is full, and it's trying to write to the /etc directory - which is included in your root partition. You could either delete something you don't need on the root partition to give yourelf some wiggle room (as previously mentioned), or you could consider adding some disk space to the root partition by resizing it. Looks like you have plenty of elbow room on the drive (especially in your /home partition) to do the resizing. You can get a better look at your overall partition layout by running 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' (as root), and you can get the output into a text file with 'fdisk -l /dev/hda > filename' Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
