one gig?
sorry, i was amazed when i had a 165 meg swap file from gimp.

check and make sure that it's really mounted(that partition)
do a df and make sure that your total is at least  correct.

I have found my down loads, and cleaned them up, but I have almost an
extra gig from where I do not know.  I installed at around 750 meg.  I
added an extra 400 meg in programs, this should still leave me with 1
gig available, I've cleaned off 200 meg of my 400 meg downloads, the 200
meg is the only opening. I show.  Does Linux keep a cache of what has
transpired, if so where is it and how can it be cleaned.  I've cleaned
up netscape's cache, and that was 15 meg, but I cannot account for the
extra 1000 meg!!!!

HELP
