I think I have found the bugger: 3.9M /tmp/6pSImPjlkw/tmp/info 0 /tmp/6pSImPjlkw/tmp/system 2.7G /tmp/6pSImPjlkw/tmp 2.7G /tmp/6pSImPjlkw ls -l gives a couple of tarballs which have been written yesterday, during time of system backup. I think I can safely delete them now. Additionally I have checked /etc/sysconfig/cron and found CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP set to "no" and MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP disabled. Changed the latter to "3" and left the former disabled. > 8GB is not much in these days and times, though. I usually recoomend at > least 15GB... but that's another thing. You are right. Actually I don't need much to be happy with my computer. No games or videos or other fancy stuff. I did, however, install a couple of games which came with KDE 3.3.1, against my principles. They will have added some considerable MBs to the 3GB. > As for the non-working KDE apps: try running them from a console. It might > give you useful information.

I will see what comes out of my doings righ now. Thanks again, Guido ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
