    hi all
    ive been trying to ghost over my drives from 160gb to a 36gb and
    couldnt figure out why it keep saying that the destination drive was too
    small.
    then i found this:
    in /var/log/lastlog is 1168.0GB
    its locked of course but please what can i do about this and why is it
    so big?
    the drive is not big enough for the size so something else is wrong
    question? how can i tell how big everything is?
    i tried to use the file size view in konqueror and it just keeps locking
    up all the time so that i cant use it anymore and go to the home
    directory
    thanks for any help
    david
