suse won't let me into the gui
 

ok, here goes
so i was looking for a c++ compiler on google when i stumbled upon intel's
after i d/l the archive, i opened it, read the install instructions, and started to follow them
first i decompressed the 199.1MB file i opened the folder and double clicked the 'install.cc' file
the only reason i knew that the computer was doing anything with the file is because the computer's busy light was going and didn't stop

while i was waiting i checked out some websites

about two hours later i had closed every program that i had open and the light was still going
so i left the computer go and ate dinner and did some other stuff

i came back about two hours later to find a white screen w/o a cursor
after a couple of minutes of stareing at this screen thinking what to, i reset the computer with ctrl+alt+backspace (stupid, i now know)

now suse tells me it's drive is so full that it can't let me into the gui so instead it takes me the the command line (i'm not sure if this is the correct name, but it looks like DOS)(i just started using linux less than a week ago):newbie:

the only things i know how to do from the command line is logout, reset, and help(which is no help to me)

any info will be greatly appreciated

why not try deleting something from the command line.

You can use rm

you have to find out where the package is installed. In commandline mode there are several ways to do so (find, (s)locate, etc). I understand you're not familiar with te command line interface so I suggest reading the Bash Reference Manual, especially chapter 4 : Built-in commands. (you will need commands like "cd" "ls" "rm" etc.)
Printing the Bash Reference from ssc helped me a lot learning to survive with CLI. http://www.ssc.com/ssc/bash/bash.pdf

Most of the time, the program you installed can be found at "/usr/bin/%nameoftheprogram%" "/usr/share/bin/%nameoftheprogram%" or "/usr/local/bin/%nameoftheprogram%"

I hope this helped you a bit.

oh and if you're not sure how to use a tool from the commandline:

entering
gives you the tools fine manual.

The first thing you should do is boot from a CD, mount the drive as read-write and then clear everything out of /tmp

The second thing you can do is go to the directory where you unpacked the project and clear it out - there will be a lot of object files and they take up a LOT of space in large projects. Actually before you do that: when you switch to the project directory do a "du -h" to find out how large it is. I'd bet that is the culprit. You may need to compile the project on a separate drive.
