Do a man on du. I am sure it has lotsa options. Some likely do what you
want. If not, pipe it into grep to pick and choose what you want, or pipe
it to sort to find the big ones, or the empty ones. I like seeing hidden
files and directories as well, they can be big space pigs (like your
Netscape cache in ~/.netscape/cache) Grep is your friend. You can keep
everything with a patern or pitch everything with a patern. If you want
more than one, pipe it through another grep. If you do the one that will
throw out the most records first, it will run faster.
