Hi,
	You can search for files using the find command, which has loads of
options
Try
find / -size +5000k   (which will show files larger that 5Mb)

Take a look at

My webserver has just started refusing to open the GUI, due to the /
partition being full.
I can get onto a command line and have been having a bit of a look for
anything I can delete but tmp is now empty and am a bit stuck /home /var are
mounted elsewehere so its not them.

Is there a command I can issue to either locate large files (and then I can
manually delete them)?

cheers

Wayne
