Running out of room on 4gig HD

[Bridge51]

Can i mount other (16) as 'home or something?

I've been installing programs on my EEE 901 (i have the 4gig/16gig version, linux) and I have run out of room on the 4 gig. I want to know what i can do to put programs onto the other hard drive?

or is this just for files/documents, not programs?

Mount other 16? Do you have another Hard drive that has 16 gigs free? Or is it a different partition?

[Bridge51]

the eee pc 901 has two internal hard drives, a 4 gig and a 16 gig. the os is run off of the 4 gig

You could look at moving your /home folder to its own partition.

Well I think he wants to have installed programs (via the package manager) be on that hard drive, in which case the /home move wouldn't help.

typing

sudo du -sh /*
will reveal which directory is taking up the most space ... that's the one that should be moved to it's own drive (it'll will probably be either /home, /usr, or /var)

then follow the instructions in the link a couple posts up
