Well, if you're dealing with non-empty files, :-), I tend to 
do the following to find large files:

find / -mount -type f -size +10000 -ls

This looks for files larger than 5MB in size (512-byte 
blocks per file).

You can modify the '-size' argument to find larger files 
(reduces the amount of output) or smaller files (does the 
opposite).

Cheers,

Mark.
