I would like to customize the name of some program functions, so I wonder how they are stored? The programs are running on a Tomcat server.

I opened some .deb packages with the File Roller and noticed that they conained different files, one English version, one French etc. Obviously I can edit the wording in those files and reinstall the programs, but I wonder if its possible to change the files while they are installed on my computer? Lets assume that I have a web service and dont want to shut it down to reinstall everything.

A process filled the HDD while performing a kernel upgrade. I then couldn’t graphically log in although there was a gui login (but not the normal one, the theme was different)
I attempted to delete files but whenever I rm’ed a file it didn’t seem to show up as freeing up space when I checked with df.
I even logged in as root on tty1 as well as using the failsafe kernel.
Each time my attempt to free space by deleting files didn’t seem to work.
Why couldn’t I rm files? Is there a solution?

I "solved" the problem by changing the reserved space for root (tune2fs) to give myself some space to work. I then was able to graphically log into Gnome and delete some files and free up some space. I then put my reserve space for root back so I have a way out in the future.
However I’m a little concerned as to how I’d have solved this problem had I not had the reserve space trick up my sleeve.
Thoughts & suggestions appreciated.
