Thanks, Karl. This time it was a case of luser error. When I ran the commands you specified, I noticed a directory called dvds - - and then realised that I must have created it on Saturday by mistake when I was processing some avi files for a DVD. Once I removed that, I am back to 17 per cent usage. Sam - -- Sam Varghese http://www.gnubies.com The scientific name for an animal that doesn't either run from or fight its enemies is lunch.
