Not quite. dpigs can tell you the largest installed packages. Then you need to check by some other means the increase in size. Now that I think of, apt-get/aptitude --simulate will inform you about the *total* increase in size. You can assume that most of it will go to /usr. > >> Or do I need to repartition and reinstall squeeze and then upgrade to > >> wheezy? > > > > It's also possible to install wheezy directly, without going through > > squeeze. > > > I've got squeeze operating now, so a direct install of wheezy isn't possible. Above you said "reinstall", which is why I suggested the more direct way.
