I have done an apt-get clean. The 249m used out of 250m was after that. I know what it is that takes up all the extra space. Darn left over kernels and modules. The machine is a desktop based machine. I am in the process of converting the small office over to Debian. The owner's love it. It's extremely stable except for my small admin errors. Thanks for the assistance. Chris Parker www.countyfloors.com
