Thank You so much for your help with that Steve!<br>
Now I have another similar problem, and I have been wondering about
this for awhile anyways. <br>
We just updated to 767, and now we get a message when trying to open
some programs that says " Journal is Full".<br>
So we went in the journal and deleted every entry. But when I hold the
mouse over the journal icon it says there is only 79 MB free. <br>
<br>
So how can we "explore" the files that are on the XO but not in the
journal?<br>
There must be other temp or junk files on the xo that are hidden
somewhere. <br>
Is there a way to recover some disk space?<br>
<br>
Thank You so much for your help<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">I've heard a few reports of "journal disappeared" before.
Essentially, if the internal Flash disk fills-up, there isn't enough
room for the XO to start-up properly.
If you were downloading a lot of largish PDF this could be an explanation.
IIRC this was a bug in the 650 release which was partially corrected
in the 656 release.
The first thing to try: hold-down the "circle" key on the game pad
while you turn the XO on.
If there is a prior 'back-up' install available, this will boot the XO
into the backup. You should be able to delete some files from there.

If that doesn't work, you may be able to use console to delete some of
the offending files.
Access the console by pressing the CTRL key (solid diamond) the ALT
key (open diamond) and the Neighborhood (8 dots in a circle) key.
This requires knowledge of the Linux console, so not for the unskilled.

The third option is to reinstall the operating system from a USB disk
or an SD memory card.
Details are available here:
- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Secure_Upgrade">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Secure_Upgrade</a>
The Fourth option is to check the list of Community Repair centers to
see if one is in your area. Some repair centers occasionally run
repair clinics where trained volunteers can get a look at exactly
what's going on with your particular XO and make a much more detailed
diagnosis.

It doesn't sound like a fatal problem, whatever it is.

We have been using it since November and just the other day, the journal
stopped coming up when I turn it on! Now I don't know how to get to the
files(.pdf) that I was reading.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
