Other ideas:

Code:

mv /var/www /var/www~
mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql~

That is just renaming a couple of directories that together eat up 270MB of disk space. If after a reboot after renaming those directories, there is no evident consequences, and I don't expect there to be, then it should be safe to remove them. You might want to wait until after a few reboots over a couple of days or so.

Code:

rm -rf /var/www~
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql~

Adding Sun Java gave back a good bit of disk space we worked hard to gain. To see:

Code:

du -sh /opt/jre*
du -sh .java/deployment/cache

Good night.

I don't believe you'll gain much from permanently deleting those folders: last I recall, we had bigmomma compress most of the mysql databases and etc., and gained quite a bit of HDD space.

OTOH, any downloaded stuff like the SUN Java binary(ies) can be safely dumped, now that they're installed - the downloads themselves are no longer needed. A quick look at /root/ and normal user home folders may turn up some disposable items.

Looks like bigmomma is in good hands with Paul, so I'll just continue to cheer from the gallery.

Don't worry, I already had you delete the downloaded packages after you did the installs. The files in /root don't amount to much, disk space wise. And my 'project' for tonight.... downloading jre-6u16-linux-i586.bin, which just finished. Now I'm off to install it, updating from 6u10.

~/> du -sh .java/deployment/cache/
29M .java/deployment/cache/

That cache will continue to grow.

Thanks in advance

Let me guess here... You are using either Fedora 9 with Firefox 3 beta or fedora 11 with firefox 3.5 beta. If so, install the latest firefox. Worked for me. And it would be a good idea to keep up to the latest flash.

You may have a conflict between firefox profiles. If you delete the .mozilla folder that loses user settings for firefox+plugins and starts firefox off with a fresh profile. You can mv .mozilla .mozilla.old to preserve the previous profile. There are options to have firefox create a fresh profile but I'm uncertain of how well that works.

After you start firefox you may want to change some settings there. Firefox by default uses 50MB for a cache, you would likely want to reduce that to something like 5MB. You may also want to delete temporary files after closing firefox.

@bendib-

Wow, another case of going straight to the last post without reading anything in between the thread title and the last post. If you had read even half of this thread, you wouldn't have to "guess". And all of your guesses are wrong. And the latest version of the flash-plugin is installed.

@davidgurvich- (and for bigmomma04's benefit as well)-

I made the suggestion to set the firefox cache size down to something like 5-10MB a good while back in this thread. Whether or not bigmomma04 followed that suggestion or not I don't know. Creating a new profile in FF is actually very easy, I did this myself a couple of weeks ago. I had been dragging my FF profile along with my upgrades all the way back from FF v1.5 in FC6 and was starting to have an annoying performance issue, which a clean fresh profile for FF v3.5.3 fixed.

It is not necessary to delete or "mv" the ~/.mozilla folder. When you create a new profile, every time you launch FF the "Profile Manager" first pops up asking for which profile to use (provided you unchecked the option to not display the PM at each FF launch). If the new profile you've made has fixed an issue or issues and you're happy with it, then you can then just delete the original "default" profile from the Profile Manager window. Once your down to a single profile again, Profile Manager is out of the picture again.
