Hi,

What is an 'acceptable' size for the root / partition?

I am using a z50 with a 1gb CF card - I installed bsd with the defaults
and have so far just installed the dillo package.  After trying to then
install abiword I got a disk full error and checked the disk with df.
/usr is 800mb and 50% full and / is 50mb and 101% full

Could there be a problem with junk somewhere that needs removing, or
should I have tried to increase the size of / ?  I set TMPDIR to
/usr/tmp before installing dillo.

Can I repartition now, or do I have to reinstall from scratch?

Any help is appreciated

steve
