Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 08

I'll try to show what it looks like here -- but the last one I copied
into an email didn't look so hot. Here's hoping this one is better.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

How can I delete excess stuff to free up this disk? I'm looking at it
with the file browser, but I'm told I don't have the right permissions
to delete anything, and I'm not the owner so I can't change the
permissions.

Changing to show sda6 instead of sda2, I see the following, but I
really don't know how to read it.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda6
