Redhat 9.0 Help

babaolowonla — Sat, 19 Jun 2004 16:27:01 GMT

I could not log into my Redhat 9.0 server due to the following error messages:
no disk space on devise

Can someone tell me how to delete some unused applications or packages through the command line so that I can log back through the kdm or gnome. I installed both, I might be able to free space if I remove one of the desktop login

Also I just finished a scan using Nessus but was unable to save my scan results. Is it possible to recover the files

Please help

1. post this in the linux forums.
2. for now u may login thru a text console as root and look for "/" filesystem and clear some files like "core" etc.

Thanks Kapil for the quick response.
Can you elaborate more on the files to safely delete? I could not find your post in the forum

1st, check which fs is full [if you have several filesystems].

- check root's and other users homedirs - prboably someone store big files.

- check /tmp and /var/tmp

- check /var/log, /var/spool, /var/mail

And if all these dirs contain only nesessary files, you can "rpm -e xemacs, netscape, *-devel, kernel-sources, ..."
