<DIV>Thank for the advice</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> but how can I find out in which file my recordings are so I can delete them... i thought that they were being stored on dev/hda5/ but clearl they are not sincey my dev/hda2 partition is full and that does let me log in as user.... is there a way that i can search for files by date and time so I can try to guess which one have the movies that I recorded and delet them</DIV> <DIV>i would try using the command that you suggest to try to start mysql... it will be nice to be able to tun mythbackend or fronend as root</DIV> <DIV>I also have another problem now... i rebooted the comp and now it doesn;t even start... its frozen in the part that says "Initializing hardware....... storage network"..... some one suggested to use Partitionmagic to try to change partitions and maybe be able to login as user and delete my recordings</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Thanks</DIV> <DIV> <BR></DIV>
