Poor little libsys-2.mit.edu.  It's an original Sparc 5, 32 MB RAM,
1 GB disk.  It's /usr partition is full (no wonder), and the only
way to get in is to boot in in single user mode.  I thought all of
these had been retired.  Did someone forget about this one?  It
can't start X, and of course is such and old and weak machine that's
not of much use to anyone.  It probably got into this sad state
when it tried to take the Athena 9.0 release and couldn't.  

This machine is located in the computer cluster in the Humanities
Library.  Probably you contact whoever's responsible for this machine
and arrange for it to be retired or replaced.

Oh, and its puny disk is noisy too!

Tom
