Hi all

I have been running Knoppix (2.6.11 Debian Kernel) for about 6 months now on my pc. It is situated on an 80GB HDD.

I would like to know, what locations/methods can I use/go to to delete/free up more space? My Torsmo is reading 14GB free, and I have only got about 500MB of user data in my home folder, maximum.

Where has all the space gone? I went to /var/cache/apt/archives and deleted what was in there, but that only freed up a few hundred megs.

Are there any more temp folders I should be clearing? Any methods to reclaim some space?

Thanks

Hong

maybe a silly question but...

... Is Ur HD partitioned??

Maybe your logs are filling up some space.

Do this on your log directory to see how much space it's taking up.

du -ah /var/log/

I don't use knoppix but debian.

# apt-get install localepurge deborphan debfoster
# apt-get clean

can you post the output of the df command?

I usually do a combination of the following:
to find what directories are taking up space
du -h --max-depth=1

then once I go down a level or 2 I use:
find . -size +1000 -exec ls -l {} \;

Hi all

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately my internet connection went down yesterday so I was unable to check my email.

I will try all of the suggested items when I get home tonight.

And to answer xowl, no, the hdd is just one bug partition. I thought I would use that for the 'system' and I have got another 80GB hdd and also a 120GB for storage of data as well.

I will post back with the results.

ok, net's back on now!

Logs are taking up about 4MB.

I did what macondo suggested.

Blinker Fluid: I did that, didnt see anything major outta place.

Any more suggestions?
