A couple of useful suggestions for freeing up space: 1. If you have another box on the network with more space available, why not put all your .deb files there? You can set things up so apt and fink will automatically grab the debs via http when they're needed. 2. I wrote a little Cocoa app for figuring out where all your disk space went, it's basically a clone of KDE's filelight. You can download it here if you'd like to try it out: http://vasi.dyndns.org:3128/files/apps/Filelight-0.2pre2.zip .

I'll try that and post back shortly with > my res Heh! Don't you know that will still leave all the data sitting on your disk? If you *really* want to clear out space, you need 'sudo diskutil zeroDisk /' ;-) (NOTE to the humor impaired: That's a joke, DON'T do it.)
