Thanks, Jephthah! Um, shoot. I guess you missed my post from about 15 mins ago, where I said "oops, don't do that" I was mistaken about what /var/cache contained. There may or may not have been important stuff in it. Hopefully there wasn't. And at 109 MB, I personally would not worry about it any further. Obviously you have the room to spare? I guess if you really wanted to trim it some more you could but I think I'll refrain from any more of my "rm -rf" advice :/ Best of luck > Now I'm wondering what that 109MB is about and whether I need > any of it... >
