I just noticed with a sinking feeling that my root partition is 96% full.
I do wish I hadn't let the installer use LVM and choose its own sizes.
Now I am stuck trying to work round its choices. I also notice a number
of directories I've never heard of before under root:
command, package, service
'service' contains a symlink to /etc/tinydns, left over from an attempt
to install tinydns, I assume. Is it likely the others also belong to
tinydns, because if so I can delete them as it didn't run anyway.
TIA

On my system, /service and /command are each 4k since they only contain
links. /package is 1.8M.
Check yours from a terminal (as root) with:
#du -h /command
#du -h /service
#du -h /package
These directories belong to the DJB series of packages, so if you are not
using tinydns, you can remove them, but you will be saving very little space.
Thanks Mark. I have now removed them -- and a stack of symlinks to them
in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin and so on. And then I remembered I had to
purge package djbinstaller as well! Pity it never worked though --
people who use tinydns speak well of it.
No, you are right, it saves little space, but it does tidy things up and
remove some non FHS directories.
