RE: Debian installation
Err well yes...cough cough.....errm
Df shows I only have /dev/hda1
So HOW do I get it to install to a bigger partition, or indeed any other
partition?
Or is it simpler just to make 2 partitions ? the / partition on 9 gig and
swap file of 1 gig (although apparently 2 swap partitions of 512 each would
be better)
TIA
Chris

Post the contents of /etc/fstab, or the results of "mount", as well as
the results of "df -h".
Basically, although you think you have 9GB of space on "main" (which I
assume you mean / (root)), the free space on your /var directory is
smaller than 780MB.
