Re: Urgent Help needed please



It's hard to answer when you don't include any other information. The
obvious question is: Are you really out of disk space? and the answer is df.
What does the output from df say?

If you are out of disk space, do you have a spare partition available? If so
you may be ok. If not, you may be screwed. What does the output from
fdisk -l say?
