Hi

What commands do I use to tell me how much hard drive space I have available
please? And is there a useful site that I can go to that might list these
commands please?

Also, I am about to load two 250 gig hard drives and also a sound card onto my
system. I have an 80 gig hard drive already. Will Ubuntu detect the new
drives automatically and how do I then add the space as hard drive space.
What I would like to do is to use them to store dvds, music and photos.

Many thanks.

Rich

You will have to scroll down a ways to get to "disk free space" and
"disk usage" commands.

What you are after is way down the index at chapter 25.

Or, in Ubuntu, you can System>Administration>Disks and click on the
partitions tab for a GUI solution.
