I have a Mini 9 with Windows Ubunto as an operating system. it prompted me to download updates last night. I did and now I cannot get onto the web. When I click on web it goes directly to Mozilla website and comes up with the following message : 404 file not found. I cannot access any websites. It also comes up with a message that I can only get part of because it goes away too quickly.. all i could catch was checking for compatability. I also now have no disk space left and it's taking about 2 minutes to boot up and shut down and because I don't have any disk space left , I can't do anything else. Any ideas what to do ? Thank you very much.

Yep: the three sudo removes above, plus a willingness on my part to remove junk and apps I didn't use, got me down to a nice 1.3gb free space on my 4 gb SSD...I was going to put a bigger HD on it, but now, I like it just the way it is...it's just a netbook, for me, and for all the other junk, I use my desktop deal...this works fine, browser and email, and I can fiddle w/files and stuff to my heart's content...the other thing I did, after getting my first apps updates, was change it back to only canonical updates, so there wasn't anymore confusion in that area...and certainly remove the installed apps I knew I would never use (webcam stuff and openoffice)
