hapened to me and some friends. Then upgrade dont go to nicely!!! Got out of it 2 ways, depending on the hard drive configuration: If you have LVM, you need a livecd from, say debian, and use it to resize your partitions, then you can take time to do your clean up. To resize it you need lvm tools which are not present in a basic live cd, so you have to install them after you boot whith your cd. If you have a basic fs, then gparted-live should do the job of resizing. A third way (never worked for me, but it is still worth trying, as it is less painful, was already mentioned by Cameleón, is to use the 5% reserved for admin. Unfortunatly, I dont remember the command line for that, someone can help? Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
