aldo foot:
That's informative. I would do one of two things:
(a) reformat the partition and create a new filesystem,
or
(b) use GParted to grow the filesystem to the full extent of the partition.
Note that a partition can be 200GB, but there could be a small filesystem that
does not occupy the entire partition... such is your case.

jbyers:
ok, i used gparted from a systemrescuecd
it took me a while to see how to grow the fs
but it worked
GParted 0.4.1
Libparted 1.8.8

resize2fs /dev/sda1
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/sda1 to 21494936 (1k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/sda1 is now 21494936 blocks long.
resize2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
mount
...
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type ext3 (rw)
root@sysresccd /root % df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/sda1 20G 7.0M 19G 1% /mnt/sda1
so, finally the fs size looks same as partition
--------
one last comment
prior to doing the resize
# /sbin/blkid
urrrrrrrkkkk:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="e9ebdaea-2ae2-4a99-8eee-bf3ca8af7b8b" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
used to be LABEL="/"
further proof, if any was needed,
that the f10liveinstallcd tried to put in a /boot partition
overwriting my entire fc5 / partition
thanks to all who helped
