Running LMDE on a MSI Wind U100 netbook. It was running smoothly until now. Suddenly, Update Manager gives me a "No space left" message and refuses to install updates.
I thought I had unwittingly filled up the Linux partition (I'm dual-booting with Windows XP), but Disk Usage Analyzer assures me there are 34.1GB available.
Does anybody have any idea of what might be going on?
TIA

click the quote button in this post to see the usage

Hi I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my query. I have been hit with a lot of extra work for the past few weeks, so I have had to set aside my tinkering with Linux until I can get some downtime. I'll try to follow your advice as soon as I have a chance.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Check and see if your Root partition is full.
