Suse 7.2 eating disk space

Hi, All, I'm running Suse 7.2 and KDE on a PC. In the past couple of days, I've suddently noticed that disk space was being consumed at a remarkable rate, while no activity that I can think of could be responsible. Yesterday I freed up 300 MB of space, this morning when I came in it was all used. I'm a totally incompetent user - still - and would appreciate any assistance as to how I can: - Identify the culprit - Identify the files it has been creating - Stop this problem. I thank you in advance, Nick . At 09:54 AM 4/3/2002 +0000, you wrote:

Please read the following frequently asked, frequently asked questions before posting to the list. As with any mailing list or newsgroup, it's usually a good idea to read the list for a few days before posting.

Send an email to test-list-subscribe@suse.com and reply to the confirmation request you will receive (just like you did to subscribe to suse-linux-e).

----Some Frequently Asked, Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the suse-linux-e mailing list? A1. SLE is a high volume, unmoderated mailing list for general discussions about SuSE Linux in English. In other words, it's a wild, largely unsupervised, collection of Linux users that will flood your mailbox with 100-200 messages per day. It's also a great place to get help with your SuSE Linux system or have discussions about Linux.

Q2. What is appropriate content for the list? A2. Questions about configuration, maintenance, and implementation of SuSE Linux. The emphasis is on the x86 platform since we have separate lists for AXP, Sparc, IA64, and PPC.

Q3. What is not appropriate content for the list? A3. Commercial postings of any kind, job postings, non-computer/Linux related material. Because of the large size of the list (1500 subscribers and ~200 messages per day), flame wars and off-topic posting can sometimes result in you being unsubscribed and, in extreme cases, banned from the list. Also, please unsubscribe now if you planning on posting advocacy-type things. There are lots of advocacy newsgroups such as comp.os.linux.advocacy.

Q4. How can I retrieve the FAQ? A4. Send an email to suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Q5. Can I send attachments to the list? A5. You can but anything that's not plain text or a PGP/GPG key will be silently removed from your mail.

Q6. Are there archives of the list? A6. Yes, http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/ Currently, they are not searchable.

Q7. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A7. There is a more complete answer in FAQ, but the short answer is that it's better this way. Trust us on this one, please.

Q8. Can I get the list in digest form? A8. Not from us. There's a much more complete discussion about this in the FAQ as well.

Q9. How do I pause deliveries from the list while I'm on vacation? A9. You unsubscribe before you leave and resubscribe when you return.
