Is there a way to globally have file sizes read out in kb and mb? I use KFM but it would be real nice in rxvt as well. I have a hard time relating to bytes. I'd much prefer to get paid in dollars, not pennies. Know what I mean? :-)

There's a `-k' switch for ls but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Doesn't work for me either.

You should give `du -h' a try.

Ciao, Stefan

I especially like the way du --help refers to -h as "human readable". I also like the way -c gives the total. Why aren't sizes given (system wide) in kb and mb by default? Like in Windows. It would be great not to have to issue this everytime. Is this a kernel issue?
