I've emptied /tmp and /var/log and been through my old /home dir. "df"
still reports disk 100% full! Does mv and rm actually free up space?
I've done that one several MB of stuff, but it hasn't changed the
result of df...

I just had another look at df and thought I'd show you the odd result:
1k Blocks Used Available Use Mounted on
/dev/hda8 7439683 7196888 0 100% /
Odd - right? There should be nearly 300MB free! (if I've read it right)
Ideas? - Duncan
