2 Linux questions in Suse 9.1

1.Space running out

I have about 66mb left on my suse linux partition and i was wondering if i could use space on my other partion or are there any files i could delete to increase space.

2.Linksys WPC54G V2 Adapter Doesn't Connect

The power light is on but it doesn't connect to the internet.The router is a Linksys WRT54G and have checked every settings on the router and through Yast Network Configuration also have checked the DriverLoader Website and it still doesn't work.

Sure 'nuff 66 MB doesn't seem like much room. Are you indicating that's all the free space left in your home/ ? I's usually pretty safe to delete files , especially ones you don't use, from the home folder. By default, you must leave the Desktop folder untouched, must also retain the Documents folder, however it's up to you what contents you leave in it. If you've got pictures and stuff you really want to keep, you could put them on CD if you have a burner. K3b has a nice easy to use interface. As for the router, sometimes mine loses it's mind, as many of them do, and the answer is just to interrupt power to it, so it restarts, then restart your network in your services manager.

Yes thats how much free space is in the Original Linux Partition put i want more space or a way to resize it i heard about an program call Qt Parted which enables you to resize partitions but i can't find a RPM for it to install it.

Also for the second question its not the router that it wrong its the network card this is a Linksys WPC54G V2 with Texas Instruments firmware it doesn't connect to the acess point which is the router.A direct connection from the Router to the Laptop allows me to use the internet.

I would install Partition magic on windows since it probably more easier to do this in windows and you can resize it from there.

I would rather use QT Parted because its free,open source and is a clone of partition magic.
