Ran into a little issue as above can you help with this.

1. Ihave done the following in a terminal but dos not seem have made any Difference
:~$ sudo apt-get clean

Is there anything that i am missinhg here?

2. I have also tried to update my Brouser as i am unable to see some of my logins - Requiremes are for ( Moonlight)
I have downloaded it but the site says it is best to use Synaptic.
But i am lost here as i cannot find the Package
:- Download Page for moonlight-plugin-mozilla_2.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb on Intel x86 machines
within the Manager
Can you advise how best to resolve this.
Thanks

Hi alpha1, I think your issue has arisen with regard to creating a '/boot' partition - you did not install the sytem ('/') to this did you? I have only used /boot on Netbooks that have ridiculously small SSD's that require /boot on the smallest partition to point to the system '/' on another - I only ever have:

sda1 - / (root/system)
sda2 - /home
sda3 - swap area.

With regard to moonlight, see my posting on Flash [STICKY] :

I would like to get some more data before just jumping into the issue. Can you show us your Disk Usage?

Code:
User@Linux:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5        20G  7.5G   12G  40% /
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev            1.5G  4.0K  1.5G   1% /dev
tmpfs           300M  1.3M  298M   1% /run
none            5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
none            1.5G  612K  1.5G   1% /run/shm
none            100M   36K  100M   1% /run/user
User@Linux:~$


This will give us a better understanding of where you need the extra space. =D

Hi, the third party software must relate to something not in the repos - either a dedicated graphics driver (ATI/nVidia) or some other piece of software that does not normally ship with Zorin (Adobe Flash?). I see you still have /boot - this is NOT needed and it might somehow be linked to shortage of space - /boot normally (where it is used) should be no less than 512 Mb.

I concur - a fresh MANUAL install - don't let the installer do it for you! ;)
