cluttered up system?
Hello! i am wondering... i have a 2GB partition for /usr and more time passes the more it is nearing its 100% completion i don't install new software, besides the stuff selected by dselect... i don't have the impression that i have that much stuff installed, and still... i am wondering what's taking up so much space i run deborphan after each upgrade, but still... is there a way to find out which packages are taking up how much space? making some stats about what's installed, where and how much ressources it eats up? would i e.g. by throwing out gnome get back 3/4 of my HD?? (if that's the case i would happily go back to fvwm2...) i know that HD's aren't really expensive nowadays, nevertheless, i don't want to add another device to this comp, since it allready has some thermic problems and i still remind when a 400M partition for my debian install was way enough and since that time, i don't use a lot more of programs... -- ciao bboett == [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett === -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

export COLUMNS=150; for i in $(dpkg -l * |egrep '^i'|awk '{print $2}'); do echo -n
$i: ; dpkg -s $i |egrep ^Installed-Size |sed -e 's/Installed-Size://'; done |sort
-grk 2
This will get you a sorted list of what is installed and how much
space their Installed-Size.
A more experienced deb can probably suggest a better way, dpkg and her
ilk are mighty, this was off the cuff...

To get it to show more than the top ten space hogs, you'll have to modify it slightly, but it's a fairly simple script. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
