Hi Ian. I can tell you, that from my experience getting a partition full will most probably make the OS unresponsive. Making Home full, will give the user(s) really few options (I had to use root on a TTY to remove extra files, and then reboot). Also running Gutsy with less then 5% disk, can make my laptop really, really, really slowwwwwwwwwwwww. -- BUGabundo :o) (``-_-´´) http://Ubuntu.BUGabundo.net Linux user #443786 GPG key 1024D/A1784EBB My new micro-blog @ http://BUGabundo.net
