The better way to find files of a given size is with find.

Example:  find /var -size +10M -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -r

The above command will list all files under /var greater than 10MB in size, sorted with the largest files at the top. You can of course change the path as needed, and the size as well. Use G instead of M to specify gigabytes instead of megabytes, or K for kilobytes. 'man find' is your friend. :)

OK I put a head on my headless machine and when I boot I can boot the system

finding very large files on my system?

If you had any HDD space, I'd say stick kdirstat on there.

As you don't, ls -l | less is your friend
