but i typed it in, and it says that there is no such file or directory?

timberwolf,

Try typing in "whereis df" and this should show us that df exists on your system and where it is.

so.... after i find the location of df, what must i type in?

timdsmith · 12-03-2003, 10:36 PM

so you found the location? it is installed?
try typing the full path to it..such as: /bin/df -h

or you can just type 'df' and see everything in KB's. All in all, do a 'man df' to see the complete list of options.
