I want to view my HD space usage in each partition?

Run "df" as root...that should do the trick

At the command prompt type df

It is showing the space in bytes. Is it possible to view these in MB / GB?

try "df -m"

In the man df the "-m" switch is not available so I got another switch "-h" human readable which worked for me.

Glad you were able to figure it out. Remember, man and info are your friend.

Good luck in the future
