You been running that du -s command to huh? It does work. I really
need it on my old 200MHz machine. Would you happen to know what that
command does? I read the man page but it didn't help much. I'm
learning though.

The idea is to cache all files into memory so that a re-run through those files goes faster. The command du takes all files of the dir you provide to calculate the amount of space used. Of course, you could use any other command that runs through the files... :)
And for the record, I did not run du on my yesterday's update, mentioned in my previous mail... :)
