Guys, it looks like you are installing your Ubuntu on very small partitions. You should probably be careful when you do your installation configuring the disk space that will be available for Ubuntu. I think Ubuntu definitely deserves a little effort on your side — it will deliver rewards that you can’t imagine yet.

Quote previous user comment: “I am totally new to GNU/Linux. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a Pentium 4, 256MB/RAM currently running Windows-XP. But I found that when I installed Ubuntu, for some reason it did not ask me for System-Disk-Space. Now that I want to install some Ubuntu-Updates, it asks me to free disk space from “/”, but I do not know how to do this. Can you pleas help? Thanks in advance.”

9.04 has been a real problem starting with me upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 with and ATI video card. Lost all 8.10 files (system bombed).
Now, the same thing ( as above) happened to me on 2 machines, one xp desktop and one vista laptop. This disk space problem is an other unforgivable oversite. I am hoping that I can uninstall 9.04 on both machines and either go back to 8.10, or just give up on ubuntu.
