df command shows zero memory for / directory - it boots and works for many things

I found a very good tool on-line (composed of two perl scripts) that will show a size sorted list of all the installed rpms (rpmhogs.pl) and the pre-package installed size (rpmsize.pl)

It's available here

at download link:

I've looked them over and they seem safe but you should review how they work (they're not very long).

This would show the first 20 largest installed packages:

rpmhogs.pl | head -20

if firefox was install during the fedora install, or you installed it using yum, then yes yum can remove it.

yum remove firefox

If you remove firefox, you can also delete all of the user files for it as well. the /home/<username>/.mozilla folder contains the firefox settings and cache files for that particular user and won't be removed when you remove firefox.

Nope - the directory is /var/log, so as long as you don't delete anything in /var/www... there is no problem.

Just delete the older files.

One other thing you can think about though.

By default, filesystems created reserve approximately 10% of free space for root. This allows root processes (and log files) to use up more than 100% of the space - so deleting some files (unless the free space is more than 10% of the drive) will not show up.

You can alter the amount reserved using "tune2fs" (see man page for details). Setting the reserve down to 5% should show a sudden amount of free space.

Hey - did any of you geniuses even read the (very little) evidence the OP provided ?
WTF does 'same' o lack of '%' mean except that the OP manually edited the content to avoid providing good accurate evidence ?

According to him /dev/sda13 is mounted twice showing different sizes.
That makes no sense - we appear to have a major OP malfunction.

OP needs to execute
mount
df -m

Then cut-n-paste the ENTIRE EXACT RESULT. Not some hacked up malarky.
Also be sure to hit the advanced tab for the post and select the entire command output and use the '#' to quote it as 'code' (to preserve spacing)
