Hi Guys,
        it's been a while :-)
Reg
        try this du -cha /home/

this will show you all the file sizes in the directorys
and the total of all of them.

I run nearer 10 gig for a full install of UBUNTU with
gnome and apps.

Regards
Michael

There are two possiblilities:
1) All the files are either hidden 'dot' files or in dot directories.
   what happens if you use the command:-
find . -print0 | du --si --files - | less
 ( use a 'q' to get back to the command line )

Which I mentioned previously. Did you try it?

whatever that all means ??
They are the files which hold your KDE application settings.
file size on the left, name on the right.

Is that all? Any more if you press the space bar to get more?

I suppose it's remotely possible that there is something else in the
home directories.

As root or using sudo , you might care to try this.

du -s /home/*
or
sudo du -s /home*

OTOH imho I suspect that you have a huge konqueror cache.

what does:
 du --si -s ./.kde/cache-*/*
have to say for itself?
