Re: running out of room on root system
The following will definitely help; execute as root.
# runlevel
N 2 [might not be 2 for you]
(log out of any X sessions, because in the next step you will change your
runlevel to the single mode)
# telinit 1
(make your changes now.)
# exit [or] telinit 2 [should put you back into the normal runlevel]
