Drives are cheap, but I have other things I'd rather spend money on at the moment. Plus there's no excuse for me to be using this much space. How can I possibly be using Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda8 23G 19G 2.9G 87% /home for example. 19 GB of what? I don't see it, but it's there somewhere. Probably 27,000 files named "foo" or "1" or something. :) I'm also starting to fill up /var, even though all the places I know to look are pretty reasonable (and I did purge the package cache, yes) so I guess it's time to get off my duff and figure out what's eating what and turn it down or turn it off. Thanks everyone. I guess I'll cook something up then. Probably just a script because I'm feeling way too lazy to do anything more complicated. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
