I made a small partition for Linux on my machine (since I'm an avid PC gamer and most if not 98% of games use Window$) and I'm having space problems. I got errors installing the new Netscape and I'm hoping I dont run out of space downloading this big file im getting...I just want to know how I can check how much space I have free in each partition (/usr, /home, etc), if there is a program to do that or if I can just use KDE somehow (or any other Window Manager for that matter).

BTW I'm running Mandrake 8, and I apologize for the question if it's already been answered :D

From a command line, as root:

df

You don't have to be root.

If you want to turn that output into somthing more readable, you can use "df -m" to change the space totals into MB's
