Where is that disk space? Is it in partition containing the user's
home directory?

Does the user's home directory belong to the user?

Yeal, today I have this problem, and now i solved it.
i ran the command "rm -rf /tmp/*",then coursed the problem.
to repair it, you can just update your system with the
system-install-CD,
chose "update",wait,then you can repair it.
Note: NOT INSTALL,but the UPDATE,
then your should update your system from internet once more to the
newest version.
and maybe remove some software first.

forgive my poor English and you can E-mail me about this problem.
