ALE, 08-16-02 0157
Thanks for all of the du help (especially Geoffrey and Stephen Nicholas). The 
magic command that I was looking for was: du -m / /.[^.]?* --max-depth=4 
|sort -rn  > /data/filesize.txt

It lists, blends, sorts, dices and chops (as seen on TV!). Utimately, I found 
that the biggest space users where a couple of video games. Still, can any of 
these directories be deleted altogether?
