[ale] Out of space on root !

[pairoftwins at mindspring.com (Tom & JaVonn)]

All:

Building up a recycled PC late last night, I filled up / (lots of space free on /home), but didn't know until this morning when X refused to start.

Immediately freed up 75 MB, and "apt-get clean" brought it up to 175 MB free, then used Tom's RtBt to scan both partitions for errors --- both came thru clean.

STILL can't print 'cause lpr.log says "write failed - No space left on device".

After uninstalling lprng, when reinstalling it refuses to install /etc/lprng/lpr.conf even though it is clearly listed as part of the package.

ANY WAY TO FIX THIS short of starting over ?  Ten minutes on google produced nothing.

Debian stable with 3.2 GB HDD:

Ext2 /
Ext2 /home


Thanks,
Tom
