Couple of pieces of advice here: * You should have some way of making system backups anyway. If you have a CD or DVD writer, or a USB pen/disk, or something else on the local network, your first priority should be to get those important documents saved onto the backup medium! To do this, you might want to get a bootable Linux CD. I understand that Knoppix / Gnoppix and the Ubuntu boot CD are very polished these days, and should help you back up your system. * Check /usr/tmp is empty. If not, I'd move it to /usr/tmp2 and check it out later: ls -a /usr/tmp mv /usr/tmp /usr/tmp2 Then create a symlink like this ln -s ../var/tmp tmp Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to @westexe.demon.co.uk | realise that you are in a hurry.
