Nifty app.  It looks like it'll replace rcconf on my boxen that run X.
Thanks for that :)

And thanks to that I've just found a *gem* of an app at the site of the
author of BUM.

Check out Baobab http://www.marzocca.net/linux/baobab.html

It's a directory tree analyser with a treemap view that'll show you
disk usage with the size of the objects proportional to their actual
size - and a tonne of other useful stuff to help you manage your disk
space usage.

And, if you install the latest version from the site (works for me on
Breezy), it'll use the Gnome VFS so you can analyse a box remotely.
I've just done a 120G disk over ssh in about five minutes.

Better than 'du -sm /path/to/clutter/*' any day!

Thanks again :)
