Hi All
Please help
I was trying to create a root/boot floppy and was copying things to a floppy
when I ran out of space. So I tried to copy everything onto the floppy into
a dir somewhere under home.
All of a sudden my / partition is full, and I can't figure out where the
space went. it's way oversized at 300MB anyway.
Here is what df returns (errors and all) - not sure why my cdrom looks
mounted twice. I cannot unmount it while out of disk space
[root@pooh /]# df
