Thanks to everyone for their help on this one. I discovered that the
space concern, and the timing of my installing the OOo2.0 program, was
merely a co-incidence. I had installed a backup program,
backup-manager, which, unbeknownst to me, was writing backups in the
/var/archives directory

Did you check your .xsession-errors file? For me whenever something like
this happens, the culprit usually is .xsession-errors.

From this, I determined that, for some reason, the var directory now
occupied over 18 GBs. So, I subsequently run the command
debian:/home/mark# du --max-depth=1 -m /var | sort -g, which indicated
that most of the space was in /var/archives. The contents are:

I found that, for some reason, a couple of hours after installing
OpenOffice.org 2.0 from the rpm source via alien, that I had no space on
my computer. I had had eighteen GB before. Someone suggested that I
check via the command "du --max-depth=1 -m / | sort -g". So, I did,
and here was the
/ | sort -g
replace / with the corresponding directory. More information can be
found in 'man du', 'man sort'

Thanks for this suggestion. This space concern happened shortly after I
installed OpenOffice.org 2.0, but that may be a co-incidence. I also

I doubt that the "unofficial" Debian distribution is any smaller. The
OOo2.0 distribution takes ~284MB (OOo2.0 shipped with stripped
executable files) compared to ~219MB for OOo1.1.5 (which was
