I installed Fedora Core 5 all worked well , got the latest version of Eclipse downloaded and it seems I have run out of space to extract it
No.1 Fedora Core has nothing to do with this.
No.2 You have given insufficient information. Where were you trying to extract eclipse?
there is no anywhere except /dev that has space above a 100 mb
. I have the 3 questions :
- how much space is alloted to each folder by default as the
folders seem to show a free space value .
You mean the mount points right? Dont call them folders or directories. /home, /var, / are all mount points and not folders. They are allocated space while partitioning. If you selected manual partitioning then you should know it but it seems otherwise. So by default the most disk space is allocated to / and /home mount points. The swap is allocated space equal to your RAM. Other partitions, if any, are allocated space accordingly.
- how do I resize the space alloted to the folders by default.
Dinesh, it still does not explain where the space is used . most directories in / show a free space of 99.1MB the the contents in it are higher . So we are back to square one .
