In my installation of etch, /usr/share/texmf-texlive occupies 245
Mbyte; I did not check other directories.
Perhaps you need to allocate more disk space to /usr ?
Once I have a comfortable desktop environment with all my normal
software installed, I run "df" to see how much of each partition I am
using, and then make a note in my log book. Then, whenever drive
replacement or other problems necessitate reinstallation of Debian, I
go to the log book and know how big I need to make each partition.
This approach provides a quick and sure answer to a question which
often vexes the new Linux user.
On this desktop machine, my partitioning is:
Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
1.8G 194M 1.5G 12% /
90M 21M 65M 25% /boot
58G 4.2G 51G 8% /home
894M 17M 831M 2% /tmp
9.2G 2.4G 6.4G 27% /usr
4.6G 1.3G 3.2G 29% /var
