Dear All,

I am in a big trouble, I have openSUSE, everything is ok before i had a warning message saying that my disk space is full, I restarted the machine, then after that I have a message telling that open SUSE can’t start, & there is error in instalation…

From the console, do

QUOTE]df /dev/sda*

If possible, post output here. Then we can see how your disk is partitioned, and what is full. It might be that you need to delete some files in /tmp directory.

If it is the root partition that’s over-full, it should be safe to delete the contents of the directory /tmp and try again to reboot.

But if it’s the /home partition that’s over-full, I would boot to a live CD like Knoppix or Ubuntu 9.04, something like that, and use the GUI file managers (konqueror or nautilus) to transfer data with copy/paste or cut/paste out of /home to a second drive or another partition, then reboot.
