Thanks for the suggestion. However, what I ended up doing was to just make /var 512MB:
raub@katrina:~$ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 379271 28451 331239 8% / /dev/sda1 48586 1342 44735 3% /boot /dev/sda4 2554532 922820 1501948 39% /usr /dev/sda5 507440 313768 167473 66% /var /dev/sda6 675532 36 641180 1% /home raub@katrina:~$ This way it should not annoy me for quite a while =)So, after that I was finally able to use tasksel and install quite a few packages. I guess the next step is to actually start using the machine (my second linux box ever; my first one was a Mac SE/30 I installed linux on just to say I could; the next day it was bagged and boxed and forgotten. This IPX, however, will be seeing some action).
