Problem with hd.
I just installed suse 9.0 and I am working on getting my wireless nic working. I tried to download ndiswrapper, but am getting an error. I am being told that my hd is full, but I know that is not the case. I have an 80 gig drive and just installed suse 2 days ago and there is no way the disk is actually full. KDiskfree shows my disk as full as well. I am a newbie and have no idea what is going on.

All of that still does not come close to the size of my drive. 80 gigs, which isnt gonna be that much in actuality. I am going to look in those directories to try and free up some space. I also deleted my J2sk dowload file. I did this after the first time I got the disk full error. That file is 80 something MB and was more than enough space for the ndiswrapper file I am trying to get.

I just logged out and then logged back in and got the error that my home directory was full and could not access kde. Is there a limit on the size of the home directory. I stored a bunch of mp3's in it.
unless you have some quota setting which limit the size of user's home directory , /home shouldn't be limited -- your disk is probably again FULL even after you deleted some files. What caused that I am not sure because from what you have there, it only takes total of 11 Gigs
