Help!!! Something is using most of my HDD space!!!

[Dave Hall]

Hi,

Can you please run "df -h" (without the quotes) and post the output to
the list.

Also please don't cross post, ask your question to one place, it wastes
resources having multiple people answering the same question in multiple
places.  Dropped yahoo group from CC

Cheers

Dave
