Re: OOo2.0 space concern

300 MB of space would have been fine. However, before the install, I

there a way to list files by filesize? A program, or command similar
to "ls" that lists files, but sorts them in order of filesize? This
way I could attempt to track what is causing this excessive usage of
space. I believe the actual working install of OpenOffice.org is not,
in and of itself, the culprit (I'm guessing that uninstalling it via
synaptic would only free up a bit over 200 MB -- I'm basing this guess
upon viewing the listed created debs in synaptic, and marking them for
removal to see what synaptic would report). As always, all
suggestion/comments appreciated.

To sort files in the order of the size use
du --max-depth=1 -m / | sort -g
replace / with the corresponding directory. More information can be
found in 'man du', 'man sort'
