Hmmm, there is no directory on my system in /var/cache which is named as it would be likely that it contains a browser cache: merkaba:~> ls /var/cache apt dictionaries-common modass apt-listbugs dirmngr pbuilder apt-show-versions flashplugin-nonfree pm-utils apt-xapian-index fontconfig powertop cups git samba debconf ldconfig debtags man Are you sure /var/cache went smaller directly after cleaning browser caches? Maybe you did something else... (That said, a system-wide browser cache would make some sense, but there are privacy concerns, cause a user might be able to see what another user browsed.) -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
