Hello.
My very old Debian/Linux workstation/desktop box (first installed it on
9/24/2004 and kept it updated daily and only had one reinstall
(accidently ran fsck without unmounting a few years ago) -- still
amazing that it runs today) is unable to install the latest Kernel
(v2.6.32) Debian package due to free limited disk space in / (actually
/boot) partition:
No. You do not have a /boot partition. You have a / partition containing
a directory called /boot.
Erase some of those old kernels that you have
not used since 2006 and make yourself some room.
And next time, don;t make 10 partitions. That is silly. You note that
you have miles of room in /tmp,
If that does not by you enough room ( it should) transfer your / partion
to your current /others partition ( /dev/hda12)
At present, I would move all the little bit of stuff in /other away
somewhere else, erase /others, copy the / partition to the /other, and
set up lilo/grub to point to /dev/hda12 as your boot partition.
At present add menu entries to lilo/grub for /dev/hda12 keeping th
eones you already have, reboot, and choose the new ones, and make sure
everything works. If it does, remove the stuff in your current /
partition.

How can I resize my /'s /boot to get more free disk space without
getting another bigger HDD to copy over or reinstalling from scratch?
Can I use KNOPPIX v6.2.1 to do it or is it not possible? I used to use
PowerQuest's PartitionMagic for DOS and Windows to resize, but I wasn't
sure if this method works in Linux too.
Thank you in advnace. :)
