Just wondering now... I actually got all my data backed up now... What would be a good size for a / partition? I was thinking maybe like 10GB would do it. I don't know... The 4GB ran out pretty fast... what do you guys think? I always like to have a / and a /home partition. Just so I can keep all my files in /home when I reinstall or something. So I can't just have one big one.

Try using the 'sort' command with '-n' instead of 'n' and '-nr' instead of 'nr', like so:

It works now.

Works fine that way.

Might I add using -h for a more readable format? (du -h / | etc... will display a more readable format using mb's for filesize rather than bytes)

I notice you have quake installed in /usr/local/games. Try uninstalling it (your preferances are safely stored in your home folder; ~/.quake or similar) and then re-install it into your home directory. Games take up a lot of space so this might help :~]

Also, if you want to see what you may have in the way of large files, and not just directories, you can use the -a switch along with the -h switch, which can be combined into -ah: This will list files and directories using sizes other than bytes.
