Hi
I have /, /boot, /home, /tmp & /usr mounted on separate partions on my
old laptop, p4 dual core, busted DVD drive, a non bootable external usb
DVD drive & no floppy. Botched an 'upgradepkg --install-new' the other
night from hda1/root/slackware (ran out of space). Managed to get
things right after moving /slackware to home, having more space...
Anyhow df reports /usr as being 100% full, if I recall (posting from
work, laptop 100miles from here) /usr is ~2.7GB and was about 70% 80%
under Slackware 10.2.
So could anyone tell me what size /usr is on a bare metal slackware 11
install?
I may purchase a usb floppy and do a full install from sr0.
Thank you.
Stanley.

poor guy ... too old ! put it in /dev/trash !

kde is installed on /opt, so it do not take place on your /usr.
I always use a ~5go for /, and /tmp /home /opt are on others partitions.

Maybe you can remove some pkg you do not use ?

Eh? Can you flesh that out a bit for me? I use vim as my editor.

So have a look on
ftp://ftp.slackware.at/slackware-11....ftp.SlackBuild
for exemple. Instead of making an install like a pig try to make a
package or use the checkinstall tool
(ftp://ftp.slackware.at/slackware-11..../checkinstall/) : ./configure
&& make && checkinstall. And your system will be proper.

Slackware 11.0, complete install (everything), running system, bunch of
fonts added, /usr is 2.6G, /usr/local (a separate partition) is 1.3G
(there is nothing but a few directories without content in /usr/local
when you install -- I've got a lot of stuff in /usr/local). The added
fonts are 2.5M + 25M + 142M + a couple more, or roughly 175M of that 2.6G.

So, basically, you probably gots more stuff than you gots places to put
'em; one thing you can more or less count on with every upgrade or new
release is bloat.

Everything works -- if you let it.
