tryfan Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 its showing all my windows partitions in it..Seems you sort found your first virus ;) the ftp folder has a folder called mandriva... it has all .rpms..That should be the copy of the install DVD. Handy to have, since you don't have to change disks when you install new software, but you can live without it - especially if you're short of space. Don't know if it's practical to just erase them though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 All those Windows files you refer to in your post (with the screen capture) are not occupying anything within your Linux OS. All it is doing is showing you what your Linux can give you access to in Windows if you want to. The Windows stuff is still in the Windows partitions and nowhere else. John.

ianw1974 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 You're right, it is different, because ls | du -sh doesn't work. :unsure:Ian's command is basically the same as du -s * though, from what I can tell. Except that I can type it without copy-pasting from Ian's post :) (I think that's the first time I've ever tried to use that key on my keyboard, and it doesn't seem to work!) Neat, I never thought of using the asterisk instead. Always think of something complicated :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
