if /tmp is on / (which is the default) you might be better off to
clear some excess data from somewhere else on the partition.

On my son's laptop, I went to reboot this morning. (I was trying to see

What do I do? It won't let me login.
Hi Kai,
Boot into rescue mode using an install CD or DVD.
The default login is 'root' with no password.
Mount the partition with /tmp and /var/tmp (usually '/')
Clear out both directories (i.e. 'cd /tmp' then 'rm -rf *' etc.)
umount '/' and 'init 6' to reboot
Once booted into desktop, launch YaST's "/etc/sysconfig Editor"
Drill down to 'System' -> 'Cron' -> 'TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR'
Add to settings: "/tmp /var/tmp" (no quotes)
Then go to 'System' -> 'Cron' -> 'CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP'
Set to "yes" (no quotes)
This problem will not recur.
hth & regards,
Carl
