Re: No space left on device?

[Aaron Prohaska <verdesoft verdesoft net>]

Maybe I should have kept the lilo problem and the WP problem in
sepperate posts. I was just trying to run lilo because I made some
changes to lilo.conf for booting. The WP problem is more or less
sepperate or unrelated other then they both don't have any room. After
using df -h I know that for some reason I only have 3mb left on / I just
don't understand why. I will trying installing WP from a temp dir as per
your directions. I have to be careful here since I am having multiple
problems at once not to confuse things. I am trying to do the install
from the CD that came with Redhat 5.2 if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Aaron
