I wonder why anybody would bother with "du" on the command line these days for this kind of task. There are a number of GUI applications to do just that. http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ or Baobab for GNOME or FileLight. ANY of those is way superior to repeatedly typing "du" and trying to figure out manually what's going on. CU -- Stefan Hundhammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Penguin by conviction.
