Hi all!

I ran du -s on the / to find the reason why Eskimo's disk capacity went to 
over 80%. Here are the results:

<<<<<<<<
3131    bin
16535   boot
0       cdrom
120     dev
7444    etc
0       floppy
1165404 home
1321712 iglu
0       initrd
0       initrd.img
0       initrd.img.old
103361  lib
0       mnt
0       opt
331428  proc
25904   root
5773    sav
3283    sbin
178063848       srv
0       storage
0       sys
14      tmp
373543  usr
3094370 var
0       vmlinuz
0       vmlinuz.old
75542   webfs
>>>>>>>>

As can be seen, var takes the most space. So I ran du -s /var/* and got:

<<<<<<<<
0       /var/local
0       /var/lock
0       /var/opt
0       /var/qmail
28      /var/tmp
81      /var/run
133     /var/www
1045    /var/backups
4783    /var/spool
322741  /var/lib
352727  /var/cache
662382  /var/log
1750592 /var/mail
>>>>>>>>

Now, in /var/mail, I found a file called alias (probably the mailbox of the 
user "alias") that was very large, and full of spam and other stuff like 
that. Having deleted it, we now have only 59% use in the root partition, a 
very large improvement.

Perhaps other things can be cleaned up as well, but it's no longer very 
critical.
