Not enough space?! Let me tell you a little story:
My initial impression of Debian is much more positive than my initial
impression of Tamu was. (Debian has some annoying flaws but it seems
intensely clean for the most part.) So /mit/linux/debian seems like a
good idea. So I wanted to see if we had the space for an other
distribution. So I ran the following command:
/mit/linux% fs lq * | sort | uniq
Volume Name Quota Used % Used Partition
linux.backups.nb 50000 15937 32% 80%
linux.kernel 20000 13178 66% 93%
linux.slackware.nb 75000 56718 76% 89%
linux.tamu.nb 220000 71430 32% 93%
project.linux 75000 26964 36% 80%
project.linux-mcc.nb 35000 10451 30% 82%
project.linux-sls.nb 150000 35636 24% 89%
So, we're using 230 of the 625 megs reserved for Linux. Please,
please, no more linux-related volumes!!! :-)
project.linux-sls.nb (which should be renamed linux.sls.nb for
consistency) seems to have the most space, so I created a symlink from
the Slackware tree to a subdir in the SLS tree, and gave Erik write
access. Erik, install Slackware-1.1.1 at your convenience.
Have a nice day.
