I buyed SUSE 9.2 and installed it to my PC. Now i have installed KDE
3.4 from KDE.org from binaries.
1.
Now i need to know how i can get shadows under windows and that new
look for sidebar. I have read that it's in official KDE since RC1.
2. I cant install anymore any software to my SUSE because / partition
is going full. I have used later MDK and i have same partition style
what i used in it.
/ (now 650mb)
/usr (now 4.5Gb)
/tmp (392mb, SUSE wont let add more)
/home (2.5Gb)
/var (1Gb)
And in MDK it installed all packages to /usr but SUSE installs them
somewhere else. And now i need to make new partition (what partion?)
and move old files to that so i get more space for / |

What kind of harddisk do you have? Can you tell us what /etc/fstab looks
like? Some things you can already do:
Delete all that is in /tmp
Delete not needed logfiles in /var/log
Deinstall things you do not need, like the kernelsource
Empty your cache

You need the kernel sources sometimes to get special drivers to work
(nvidia, ati, wlan card...) |

Normaly only at the moment when you install them. Not when you have
installed them.Also the solution is just a temporarily solution so he
does not get any errors anymore.

Quote: Delete all that is in /tmp
Like i sayed, i have own partition for /tmp
Quote: Delete not needed logfiles in /var/log

Quote: Deinstall things you do not need, like the kernelsource
I have installed kernelsource and it's still installed. So i remove
it, if it's not needed.
How i empty my cache?
One problem is that i cant install Gnome too. It needs more space for
/ partition (/opt?) so i think i really need make new partition for
KDE and others and move old data from / partition to /opt parititon.
Should i do this with slax or knoppix live-CD?
I think i could do it this way it. First i do new partition and i save
information to other file than /etc/fstab. Then i boot from live-CD
and move old /opt directory to new partition (files) and then i edit
fstab file (copy new over old) so it finds /opt from new partition? |

Depends on what browser you use.

Why make your life so hard? What is the reason you need all these
partitions? Make one for /home and put all the rest in / untill you are
sure how much you need in each and every directory and/or partition.
As long as you do not know how much you will excatly need, the use of
several too small partitions will work against you, not with you.
/home on a different partition is a gooed idea. All the rest is not,
unless you know excactly what you are doing and I am sorry to say, if
you would know what you were doing, you would not ask these questions.
So don't mike life harder then it really is needed. Also read my
reaction to the subject 'SUSE 9.2 and partition size'

?? I don't know. Everything in KDE working for me as expected? What new
sidebar look do you mean?

Yes, SuSE goes with the LSB2 and therefore installs all
"non-system"-software to /opt.
Here some data from two of my SuSE 9.2 systems:
42 tessun (worf: ~) % sudo du -sh /opt
1,5G /opt
43 tessun (worf: ~) % sudo du -sh /usr
3,9G /usr
and the other:
49 tessun (kirk: ~) % sudo du -sh /opt
1,3G /opt
50 tessun (kirk: ~) % sudo du -sh /usr
3,3G /usr
In /opt there is softwar like Firefox, KDE, Gnome, etc. located.
I suggest putting /usr and / on one big partition.
To seperate /var and /tmp makes sense in different cases.
HTH,
Martin |
