Newbie made a boo boo surprise surprise

Hi all.
    I've been lurking for a bit but can't keep the pace on this most active
list.  I get nasty messages from the postmaster so I'm not subscribed
regularly.  Please reply privately if you would.
    I've been pounding away at an "Essential Debian 2.1 for the past two
weeks.  Cheapbytes coughed up what turns out to be a very usable pile of
packages.  I'm grateful to have the cd.  However after getting the drive
split up (dual boot with Windoz) and the rules half figured out, I went
ahead and put too many things on the partition.  While I was investigating
my troubles with the X config I looked to see what space I had left.  When I
looked first it was 1K and then promptly dropped to zero.  Opps.  dselect
wouldn't work without a little room so I gassed (read deleted) a few things
out of the games directory until I had enough to spool the deselect.  I'll
get to the point sometime I'm almost sure!
    I have problems with the xserverrc file.  /usr/lib/X11/xinit/@xinitrc
and !xserverrc It is marked red with a ! and has nothing in it and seems not
to be stable.  I've tried to make dselect take things off and put things
back hoping to have it repaired but I'll need to sleep soon.  Please throw
me a line someone.
    "failed to open config file /etc/exim.conf"  In
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11?doc/XFree86_FAQ.gz there is a statement about xinit and
xserverrc being modified but the learning curve has turned into a slide and
like I say, I'll need sleep soon.  I think I should have XF86_SVGA in the
xsereverrc file.......Help!  I'm drowning.
