I have symbolic links for both the /tmp and /var
directories to /usr/tmp & /usr/var, those don't appear
to be my problems. The majority of the space seems to
be being hogged by the /root/.kde directory (& its
subdirectories). Are these supposed to be in here???
What are some of my other options...since my problem
is not the /tmp & /var directories....

thanks,
