As an aside, I seem to be missing approx 18GB of HD space - this is a
200GB HD, but adding the values given above totals 182GB. Strange, and I
cannot track it down anywhere, and I don't dual-boot, so unless 200GB
was listed on the packaging as an approximation, almost 20GB have gone AWOL.
Run 'parted /dev/yourdisk' and in parted's prompt enter 'print'.
It will tell you where each partition begins and ends. There might be
empty (unpartitioned) space between partitions or at the end/beginning
of disk.

Cheers for that.
Nope - parted shows that all drive space is present and accounted for.
But, there still seems to be a missing 18GB of HD when I run df -h .
Remember that, by default, df prints binary values, but hard drives
are measured in decimal. So try "df -H".
Lastly, remember that df sees blocks, but du sees *files*. So,
where du sees 3 files that are each 1KiB, fir a total of 3KiB, df
sees them as each using 1 4KiB block, for a total of 12KiB.

Thanks for that info Ron. When I run df -H the totals tally as expected!
Thanks - I was getting a tad paranoid there!!
