Hi, In case you haven't noticed /home is nearly full, we are desperately short of disk space. Could you please remove any files you no longer need and zip up any files you don't use on a regular basis. To zip a file use gzip gzip -9 myfile This will append a .gz onto the end of the file. To unzip use the gunzip command. gunzip myfile.gz If it's a directory you'll need to use tar. So use this command to zip the directory, tar zcvf mydir To extract it use tar zxvf mydir.tar.gz Remember tar doesn't remove the directory so use rm -r mydir to remove it once you've tar'ed it. Thanks. Regards, Noel. -- Isn't it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists? -- Kelvin Throop III
