 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.

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

e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
grow file system to fill the partition  00:00:31    ( SUCCESS )
        
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
Jack
