Heh. As you can no doubt tell, I have trouble with subject headings at
times... ;-)

Anyways, my /usr partition is about 99% full (5.9 gigs). I know I've put a lot
of space-intensive software there (read games). What I'd like to know is how I
can see just -what- is taking up the most space.

I issued a (as root, otherwise I was denied some file permissions):

du -h /usr

which gave me a huge listing...I could have piped this to less, but it seemed
it would take an undue amount of time to scroll through such a listing. So, I
did this:

du -h /usr > /home/darklord/usr-filesize.txt

Now, I've got a huge (300k) text file, which is better but what I want to do
is filter or narrow the search down to filesizes of say, 512k or 1 meg or
bigger...can I do this with "du" or would I have to use something like grep?

I did a "man du" but it didn't seem to cover what I wanted to do.

Thanks in advance!
