It's a shame there wasn't a suitable pretty disk use tool, but I got a long way (half a gig freed up) by using "du -sk * | sort -n" in home and working on down the tree. Is there a good pattern (is this a glob?) which will cover all dot files but not . (current directory) and .. (parent dir) or is .??* as good as it gets?
Have you looked at filelight - it was featured in this months Linux User (well, the september issue).

It will display a breakdown of your file system in a pie chart type format. Different colours for different file types. The root level (or the top level from where you start) is nearest the centre of the circle. As you move your mouse over the chart, the respective filenames are shown like tool tips.

No. I don't want to install Qt and KDE. I already have GNUstep (daily use) and Gnome 1.4 (for Gnucash) installed here, so I'd really prefer something using those or a small toolkit. Thanks anyway.
BTW, your mail client stuck "Subject:" on the start of the Subject line.

The dependency on KDE libs put me off too. I've just installed and tried xdiskusage recommended earlier and it does the job just fine. It was slow reading '/' (and does need root privs to see in all directories, of course) but was fine on '~/'
Share and enjoy, Tim.
