I would start with a 'du -hxs *' in / and then work your way down to the large directories. Since you haven't installed anything it most likely is in /var where logs and spool files etc. are kept. If you have multiple partitions for you Linux setup you can also use 'df -h' to see the stats of each partition. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
