thefoxtrot please do the following:

Firstly take a look at this wiki page:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space

Do what they say there and learn about what you did wrong.

You should always check the space an app is taking after installing. Do that by in xterm do this and check how much you had before and after installing.

Code:

sudo gainroot
df - h /

To remove packages manually:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove <package name>

Of course replace <package name> with an actual package name like apt-get remove dosbox

Yes. And thank you for maintaining a certain degree of civility when dealing with a n00b.

Thanks.

You're welcome. I am quite a noob myself. But I experiment a lot. Don't worry about what happened. It's easily fixable.

The most important is that you know what you did so next time you don't do it. Be aware that extras-devel apps may take up a lot of space so install carefully around there.

Cheers
