I made it home from the expo and started my machine up, and everything was
fine for a while. Then I couldn't get my email because it said the disk was
full. I deleted some big files from my home directory (tiffs and eps files
that I didn't really need), emptied trash, and ran df -h. It still said I
was using 100% of my disk space. So, being the recovering Windows junkie
that I am, I tried to reboot. Big mistake.
Now it starts OK, goes through all the init stuff (in runlevel 5), gets to
the point where kdm should start up (it doesn't), and restarts in runlevel
3. It doesn't get much past that; it locks up when starting webmin.
I tried putting in the boot floppy I made during installation, and got a
kernel panic.
I thought I'd ask for help before I do anything else to screw things up.
Thanks in advance!
