Your right...   I meant /...   this is the root partition correct?

Look what df -H gives me after I tried to mount / onto a new partition
with lots of free space:


Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             1.6G  1.6G     0 100% /
/dev/hda1              50M  6.2M   41M  13% /boot
none                  263M     0  262M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb2             2.9G   34M  2.7G   2% /oracle
/dev/hdb4             6.6G  3.6G  2.6G  58% /backup
/dev/hdb4             6.6G  3.6G  2.6G  58% /pub
/dev/hdb3             2.9G   34M  2.7G   2% /oradata
/dev/hdb4             6.6G  3.6G  2.6G  58% /tmp
/dev/cdrom            678M  678M     0 100% /mnt/cdrom
/dev/hdb1             1.6G  1.6G     0 100% /

If deleting files now but I can say right now that /dev/hdb1 is empty..
What is going on here?

Is increasing the / partition the only way to create space for more
packages?

I think I may have screwed something up...

Hold on there Bullwinkle! You need to delete some files from your <CR> 
drive. I assume you are using a <CR> drive because your slash was
pointed 
the wrong way. If in fact you were talking about your root filesystem,
you 
probably meant / instead of \.  :-)

Either way, you need to remove something from that filesystem.
