yast not opening
 
My Suse 10 Enterprise server hard drive filled up. I removed from var/log zmd-message logs to gain some space, but I don't think my hard drive is reading correctly. df -h reads /dev/hda2 size 37G used 37G Avail 5.7M use% 100 Mounted on /. And I can not open Yast either. I can't find anything that says what else I can delete to make space.

You can try as su on the command line zypper remove package name
If I am wrong try man zypper

I'd search for large files to see what is taking up all the space. You'll have to run this multiple times within different directories or simply change the '.' to a directory path:

find . -printf '%s %p\n'|sort -nr|head

Here is a good page with lots of 'find' commands.

Thanks for the tip on the find cookbook. I did end up finding what was taking all the space. There were 2 partial backups sitting in the root trash bin. As soon as I emptied that I gained just about the whole drive back.
Once again Thanks for the response and the find command list.
