Hi again,
the reason the test does not complete may be that it only test the linux 
partition (16+GB) and not the whole HD (30GB)?

[truls@localhost ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              16G  9.4G  5.0G  66% /
/dev/hda2             101M   12M   84M  13% /boot
none                  189M     0  189M   0% /dev/shm
[truls@localhost ~]$


Will I fix the problem if I backup /home, reformat the Linux partion and 
do fresh installation of FC3?  This might be a good thing to do anyway?

If I do this, how do I read the /home back from the CD keeping 
permissions avoiding all files and directories to be "read only"?

thanks and regards,
Truls
