After trying other distros I recently installed Fedora Core 5 which I like very much. But every time I start Fedora a message appears: "100% disk space on boot is in use". Does that be a problem in the future?
What it is telling you is that the /boot partition is full. This may be a problem when you go to install a new kernel. You can find out where your /boot partition is by running "mount | grep boot".
[fossiili@localhost ~]$ mount | grep /boot /dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
take a look at the /boot directory on your system to see what is all in there.
If you post the output of "ls /boot" [root@localhost fossiili]# ls /boot config-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 pup001 config-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 pup_save.3fs dev_save System.map-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 grub System.map-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 initrd-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.img vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 lost+found [root@localhost fossiili]#
and "cat /boot/grub/grub.conf" and we can poit out files you may safely delete.
[root@localhost grub]# cat grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.17-1.2139_FC5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.img title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img title WinXP rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 [root@localhost grub]#
THANK YOU for your clear and simple advice! The problem is related with the nice and reliable Puppy Linux liveCD. "pup001" is it's previous versions save file of the size 75.9 MB safely remowe.
