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.
