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).

http://www.methylblue.com/filelight 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. -- --------------------------------------- Stuart Bailey BSc (hons) CEng CITP MBCS LinuSoft (Proprietor) (01953) 601294 (07778) 383739 http://www.linusoft.co.uk ---------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
