Again, read the man page for this, you will learn much much more than what we spoon feed you here from the list. The 'du' command lists disk usage by directory. When it lists the size of '.', the current directory, that is inclusive of all subdirs under that one. Again, the man page gives you all sorts of options for this command as well. I personally don't remember them off the top of my head but I know I can always find them in the man page. Again 'man du' will provid you with this information. Remember, leave out the tick marks from the examples above. On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 01:04:52PM +0300, Octavian Rasnita wrote: > Hi all, > > Please tell me: > > 1.
