I'm really not sure why Xorg would be failing to work for you now, especially as seeing that it worked for you previously, correct? Is hald running?

I'm not sure what that is, but here's something, my root partition ran out of space. When I typed "df" it showed that I have 0 space left on my root partition. I think I should delete everything and start over again, assigning it more space. I suppose I can delete some of my ISO files too, since it's taking up so much space. How much do you think I should assign it? Around 50GBs? I only have 200GBs on my Ubuntu partition *The other 800 belongs to my Windows partition that I never use*

I can't answer that question. How much space you assign depends on how much space you need.

I suppose so... For someone who wants to thoroughly test out a distribution, how much do you personally think they need? Or, better yet, how much would YOU assign?

I've never thought about the bare minimum needed for certain functionality, sorry. I have slack installed to real hardware on a 250 gig hard drive.

Hello,

a full installation of Slackware (but without the kdei series) takes about 5GB on the / partition when one has only /home on a separate partition.

For Slackware I'd recommend about 15GB for the / partition.

@theif519, you should consider to decrease your Windowspartition. Windows 7 comes with a tool which can do this. In the contextmenue of "Computer" go to "administration" and look for "volume management", but note that I'm not sure about the english menu-entries since I'm using the german version of Windows. You may as well use gparted.

Markus
