Super, that's sorted it. Thanks very much! I don't think there was anything for the system there, since I only use it for media storage (rather than the OS). Hopefully it'll be fine :P

Thanks. Output of df -h is confusing me a little:

Hi all!

I'm thinking of taking to the Internet Radio station, JukeBox Radio (it's licensed and legal, don't worry :P), but I don't know of anything that I can use!

No DJs on the station use...
