I suspect I'm a lot better off in my ignorance, when my home partition starts filling up, to get rid of stuff in it than I am trying to enlarge the partition. I've had to once already, and managed just by rm against stuff I'd put there. Next time, no doubt, I'll have to find things I don't use and uninstall them instead of just using rm against what I see in my home directory. (Egad! Maybe I'm woeful late with this question already! Help Thou, O Tux, mine uncluefulness ...) Is uninstalling a big deal in linux? Is there a simple-minded way to do at least a minimally adequate job, without leaving unwholesome detritus scattered all over my hard disk in spots? -- RR 'Beartooth' Neuswanger <karhunhammas (at) lserv.com> double retiree, linux greenhorn running pine 4.43 on ISP's SunOS 5.8; Opera 6.02, Pan 0.11.2, Galeon 1.2.0, & Mozilla 0.9.9 under RH 7.2 Keep in mind that I have no idea what I am talking about.
