Mark,
In the event that you have one or more large files eating
this space, you could use the find command to locate them.
Start high, and keep doing it, dropping the size by a couple
meg each time. The syntax would be like this:
find / -size x -print

Anthony,
Thank you for responding and I really got gassed by doing what you

I know there is a better command than this, but I can't seem to find it at

often left in your user directory. They can be safely deleted.
