Very clever, but a bit of a mouthful ;)

Just to clarify things for the original poster, you will probably find a
simple,

 > du -sh /path/to/directory

is more than enough... e.g.

localhost ~ > du -sh ~/Pictures
5.2G    /home/jonesc/Pictures

if you want something graphical, checkout the application 'filelight' - Its
quite neat. (available via a 'yum install filelight').

I have been trying to install ncdu[1] Ncourses version of du which
should provide graphical presentation in cli of disk usage. I love
filelight but I would also like to have a cli graphical tool for disk
usage.

Has anybody suceeded in compiling ncdu for FC6 or F7? If you did
please tell me how - I can't make it compile.
