got to see what's eating up that space (I think it's because a new
kernel was automagically installed - somehow or 'nuther it seems when I
installed Debian on this box the default install installed whatever
kernel package automatically pulls in the latest version of that kernel
rather than leaving it fixed until I specifically specify an upgrade.
I'm not quite sure how to "fix" that. And I don't really want to have to
reboot yet to activate the newest .point upgrade so I can remove the
older one taking up disk space. I should've made my / partition twice as
large as I did, I reckon.)
the kernel meta-packages are called linux-image-2.6-<arch> and those
are the ones that pull in the most recent kernel. remove those
meta-packages to "fix" it (quite literally)...
