FWIW, thh ones I tried (del and df3) work fine.

Pointing and clicking on an almost invisible command at the bottom of the web site downloads
and installs all the 193 (IIRC) files in the fstool directory. That's easy.

But, to make use of them you have to know some linux magic that is not described anywhere (that I could find). The executable files end up in a directory called fstools-0.0/bin, with minimal documentation in fstools-0.0/doc and and a useless fstools-0.0/README. But, if you know your own linux magic you would know one of many options: put in your .bash_aliases the abacadabra

# look in fstools directory, with useful perl scripts from Stuttgart U: http://fex.belwue.de/fstools/del.html
export PATH=$PATH:/home/your-name-here/fstools-0.0/bin

Then you can use such useful commands as del, df3, and other useful esoterica.

Thank you Uri

I would suggest that any new to Linux browse
http://fex.belwue.de/fstools/index.html just to gain perspective
of what can be done at the command line.
Beware!
This is only for Real Men [TM] without fear because no clicky-pointy ;-)
