I just finished installing Solaris 5.8 and I tried to install StarOffice, it said I was out of room. Now I have a 3 gig HD and I THOUGHT that I gave 512 to swap and kept the rest for storage room.
How do I check how much room I have, how would I if I figured out I don't have enough room add another partition?

Use the fdisk utility to read the partition table. Be careful and do not write new ones Smilie Just print the existing tables.

Feel free to upload the results to the thread.
