The when I did du -shal * I got du: cannot both summarize and show all entries so I did du * and got an output that was too long to copy. I'm going to go googleing to find out how to output it to a file (pipe, no). In the meantime this is what came of df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 9.9G 7.1G 2.3G 76% / /dev/hda2 99M 16M 79M 17% /boot none 237M 0 237M 0% /dev/shm So, I have 10 and not 8 gig! But I'd still like to clean it up a bit... Dotan Cohen http://English-Lyrics.com/ http://Song-Lyriks.com/
