  Well it was impossible to do anything with the computer running so I
dropped out and got the CD working. There I found a thing I called
/home/oldkarl and it was large so I deleted it. All else looked fine and
just did a df and it is good now. Here it is:

Filesystem       1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8         9187068  2894196  5826188 34% /


So my partition is too big now :-)
