[nmglug] hard disk usage

[BrianO'Keefe]

Actually, Baobab says I have 2.7GB remaining at the same time as it
shows 13GB used. doesn't add up to 14.9GB.
I see that mozilla in my home directory is using 826.8MB and obj-firefox
in that directory is using 335.5MB. Is that normal? I knew Mozilla and
firefox were big but this seems extraordinary. Beagle's eating 527MB
too. Maybe I should dump it. It only works occasionally anyway.
