This leaves a number of questions in my mind:
If w2k can report the total size then is ~/temp/files on an NTFS or FAT f=
ile=20
system or perhaps a symbolic link thereto? Or is it a copy of a w2k tree?
What size does:
  du -k ~/temp/files
report?
What size does 'ls -l' report for files.iso?
Are any of the files w2k links/short-cuts?
