Hi

By maintainance do you mean HP support?

Or Hp Predictive?

Or EMS ?

I don't follow your question fully,

but you can run diagnostics interactively via

xstm (X windows)
mstm (Curses driven - text based)
cstm (command line for scripting)

Alternatively, you can get a tool to gather all sys info such as http://www.grc.hp.com/docs/nickel/

As for deleting files.. start with your netscape/browser cache ;)

Later,
Bill

Hi

if you want to delete some file you need to know what to delete .

the log files that i can think about that you can trim them ( not to delete ) are list when
you are opening the SAM going to routine task
and choosing files - over there you can trim
any logs file of the system but you shuold know that you will loose info that will help you to trubleshoot when you have problem .

you can do a lot of thing's but i think that the number one thing to do is backup your system disk with ignite - the recovery become very easy after that .
here is the link to get the ignite :
