root 100%; edit partitioning

[leftil12]

Hi,

i have no idea why the root became 100% occupied, even though during the installation of LMDE i followed the instructions and using GRUB allocated 10G. running

Code: Select all

apt-get autoremove

cleaned about 20%. my question is if there is anyway to clean the rest, or as much as possible? is it possible to use again partition editor GRUB as during the installation? right no i have ~1.4G free space in the root: is it enough if i try to install TexLive2011 for example?

thanks, and have a nice day

Try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean

This will clear /var/cache/apt/archives of the copies of all installed programs. If this has never been done since the OS was installed, you could see several hundred Megabytes of space freed up.

Also you could install ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ and run the janitor bit.
