Want a picture of the drives.


Running SUSE 10.3 and 11.0. I have two hard drives.

I would like to have a graphic showing and identifying my 2 hard drives and how they are broken down, what is on them.

Is there any software that will perform this?

Have you tried gparted? It gives you a GUI view of your hard drives and their partitions.

Disk Usage Analyzer also works although I am more fond of the fore mentioned kdirstat

Farslayer, a picture is worth a 1000 words, my original saying, you can't use it, LOL! You have helped me before, see, I don't forget somethings.
Not everyone is as gifted as you in understanding the problems associated with Linux distros.

Kdiskfree sounded like what i wanted, but I was using SUSE 11.0 when I tried to find it in KDE 4+.
It appears I have a very bad install of "11.0" when I tried to find it, nothing but ERROR messages!
Trying to download 11.1 now but Ktorrent is not working either. There is a note that the new version (11.1) is downloading, but other than that I don't know.
Question has been answered till I can get "11.1" downloaded and installed
