du -xh --max-depth=1 will do the trick, but you will need to do it as root, otherwise you'll get 'permission denied' on some dirs. Here is mine for comparison (/home is on a separate partition, but it's not shown due to the -x option): think:/# du -hx --max-depth=1 3.3M ./bin 207M ./lib 8.8M ./etc 40K ./media 4.0K ./srv 16K ./mnt 4.0K ./lost+found 3.9M ./sbin 14M ./boot 4.0K ./initrd 0 ./dev 4.0K ./home 1.6G ./usr 98M ./root 68K ./tmp 4.0K ./opt 0 ./proc 0 ./sys 652M ./var 2.5G . As expected, /usr and /var take the biggest chunk. All others barely add to ~300M. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
