Hi

These were the only major files that I found. Found in the /usr which took a
total of over 600mb,  so I started searche from here:

54M     /usr/doc
216M    /usr/lib
54M     /usr/local
29M     /usr/sbin
51M     /usr/share
66M     /usr/src
31M     /usr/jre1.2

Not knowing a great deal admittedly I have moved /usr/doc & /usr/man to the
/home directories and created symbolic links(previous tip from list). Having
set this up will the cobalt server react/work if I do the same for the other
larger directories especially /usr/local/ ? I have mysql files in
usr/local/var. Will these be affected? I expect trouble from future intalled
programs  that want to write to the /usr/docs/ /usr/man/ files to.

After all, most of us have 17GB free on /home just like JA, dammit.
500MB for /var wouldn't hurt, either.

I am with you on this one, Rodolfo... I added nothing to the machine other
than mysl and portsentry/logcheck and all the cobalt patches... but.

P.S Thanks for the tip(rodolfo), worked a treat after change from
du -h --maxdepth=1 / to du -h '--max-depth=1' /
