Cooking 2.6.30.6 was less than 1gb on a 2gb partition (no personal files) when suddenly the entire 2gb partition was full and flash, lxpanel, and conky were broken so I deleted tazpkg cache just to get 100mb free space so lxpanel would load.
I recently installed a few small packages (100kb to 10mb, like dvd block device to get xine to play dvd, still should have had 1gb free) but nothing I can think to explain the vanishing free gb.
Pcman sort by size does not seem to work and does not list folders in size order.
Something similar happened before (not sure which kernel) so I did a complete reinstall of the os but now it happened again.
Now I do not have room to install dialup packages to see if they work.
