How did this non-journaled / filesystem happen? Just go ahead and do your reinstallation, but be sure to format / EXT3 or EXT4, so you have journaling to assist in avoiding corruption in case of crashing or exhausting freespace. Make a note of freespace/consumed space as soon as you finish installation, then again after getting all your optional fonts installed, so you know how much space was consumed initially and then when ready to work.
What is it you are running now, Jessie? I don't think I saw you mention it in this thread. What CPU, chipset and gfxchip (how old is it all)? Why 32-bit? How much RAM?
Yes, running Debian Jessie 8.10 or whatever is the most recent update. I was wondering about how to format root. I am used to ext2 for root partition from older Ubuntu versions, but I see everybody using ext3 or ext4 now, so this might be part of the problem.
It is 32-bit because I installed a new motherboard, and that is all that was available for cheap. I've always run 64-bit before.
Any quick commands to find out CPU, chipset and gfxchip? And yes, some of it is old (I did say it's a Frankenstein), but my motherboard is pretty new.
