PiG_DoG Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Could anyone tell me please where i would find temp files folders so i can clean out my install, not used to the file structure yet. Anyone have a link to a tutorial on the linux file structure so i can figure out where programs are installed to, temp folders etc. Cheers.

chris z Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 there is no need to clear out temp files, defrag, scan disk, etc. in Linux (mandrake). temp are stored the following directories /tmp, /home/(you-user)/tmp, /root/tmp. the temp directories in Linux don't fill up eternally like in Windows. they will clear themselves up after a reboot, shutdown/restart. the only directory that can fill up is the /var/log directory if you keep logging turned on. if that's the case & the .log files are getting too large, simply delete them. or, if your system seems to be running fine after a while go to Mandrake Control Center->system->services & turn off logging.
