Bob,
My guess is you have a few files in /root, but the following
command will display the file sizes in order and in K. Run it as root so
you do not run into permission problems:
root@host:~$ for DIR in `ls /|grep -v home|grep -v usr |grep -v var|grep
-v boot| grep -v proc|grep -v dev`;do du -ks `find /$DIR`;done|sort
This probably isn't the best way, but it'll work.
