Thanks Barkin. I have now deleted those temp files and will wait to see what happens.Partview now shows orange instead of red, so some progress there.

EDIT: Looks like I also have a problem with openoffice. I have a directory for /opt/openoffice (about 400MB) and a folder for /opt/libreoffice(also about 400MB). I only use Libreoffice on this machine, so I figure that the openoffice directory is something I don't need. However, if I try to rename it (to see if it causes any problems if I prepare to delete it) it won't let me rename it - it insists on making a duplicate directory with the new name. Hmmm.

Could you post "du --version | head -1" ? Maybe old coreutil versions don't include it?

This is from the current Wary:

Code: Select all

# busybox |head -1
BusyBox v1.19.3 (2011-11-09 07:34:50 WST) multi-call binary.

Code: Select all

# du --version | head -1
du (GNU coreutils) 6.12

Thanks,

Exprimo uses 8.14, which has -d arg.

6.1 was released in Aug, 2006

In ROX, ctrl+A (select all), then right-click and choose Count from the ROX menu. ROX will show the count for all the directories you selected with ctrl+A. ROX's count is slightly less than what du says.

I like Gdmap, too.

Hopefully you can make sense of this. (over my head...). Thx for the help.

The problem is a very old version of GNU coreutils. I'd consider an update.

Thanks. I'm still on Slacko 5.3 and too scared to do much updating as I have all my printer and scanner setups running sweetly. This is the one machine I don't like to take too many risks on. I should really set up the newest Slacko on a newer HDD and just keep this machine as a safety net. (I'm guessing the newest Slacko will have the new coreutils...)

BTW If you are using FireFox, as default it will incrementally download a store of forbidden URLs, ("urlclassifier3.sqlite"), which is about 35Mb, or more
So we can delete it or not ?
