Hello All and especially bogi,

I did an ls -l on the tmp directory and various other directories to see
what space was available in the directories but found out that the
answers I got was not the amount of space used in the directories and
subdirectories.

How do I find out how much space is used in my michael home directory
and how do I find out how much space is available in the tmp directory
and how do I change how much is available in my tmp directory?

I found out that one jpg in my mudry subdirectory had 433766 bytes in it
and that another picture that was not stitched together had 109290 bytes
in it.

I take it that if I could resize the tmp directory I might be able to
tar and possibly zip my home directory in michael. Then perhaps I could
burn the tarred and zipped file to a CD.

I tried finding out the man page on the ls command and could not figure
out everything I need to know about the meaning of the numbers under an
ls -l command.

If I need to repartition my hard drive to do this, how do I do that?

Any help appreciated in advance,

Michael Walters
