OK, having removed what I figured I could safely (a lot of the stuff
that I thought I could remove having turned out to have necessary things
depending on them)...

Here's what df shows:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 1765992 1549708 126576 93% /
/dev/hda5 1022080 198408 823672 20% /ddrive
none 30968 0 30968 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 1022080 715304 306776 70% /windows
(I have it dual-booting into Windows 98 and Linux. /ddrive corresponds
to the W98 D; drive, and /windows to the C: drive.)
