[rhn-users] File Management

[Jon Branch]

Hi Mike

I think you are looking for a graphical way to see disk usage. I suggest you look at the KDiskFree feature found in the KDE window manager. In Red Hat Enterprise 3 KDiskFree is found in the "System Tools - More System Tools" menu. All Linux distributions I'm aware of have KDE as one of the window manager options or as the default. Not all include KDiskFree as a default part of a standard installation however. Mandrake 10 being an example.

Regards

Jon Branch
