8/19    My root partition is pretty filled up, what are some quick and
        dirty ways to remedy this? I don't know which /var/log files are
        safe to delete, though I'd like to delete unnecessary packages
        like X, etc. How to go about that, safely?
        \_ rm -rf /
        \_ Assuming /tmp is in your / partition and not its own mount point,
           almost anything in /tmp should be safe to delete if you're in
           single-user mode.  In /var/log: if you're not going to be reading
           them, any files with .0-9 at the end (e.g. messages.9 or
           messages.9.gz) are safe to delete.
