Freeing some partition space...

[Gustavo Seabra]

Hi,

I'm running out of space in the / (root) partition. To free some space, 
I want to clean the temporary files in /tmp, but I heard a while ago 
that it might break something if done while running a graphical desktop. 
How can I clean it then?

Also, I believe someone suggested to clean this area every time the 
computer boots. How can I set it up for that?

Does anyone has any suggestions of what else I could clean up to free 
some extra space? (I'm using an old computer with just 5G for the root 
partition.)

Thanks,
