File Light is an excellent application that will probably make its way into the standard kde releases at some time in the future. It is a program that lets you find out what has happened to all your disk space. File Light would be an excelent addition to gentoo. You can find it at http://methylblue.com/filelight/

Nifty. Maybe I'll write an ebuild if I have time/somebody else doesn't do it first.

Love the irony in the installation instructions.

It looks nice, but I don't quite get the graph. I had a terminal script once that showed the relative size of the biggest files/directories. It looked something like this when used:
| Code: | prompt> fs
[file 1][---file 2---][-------directory 3 ----------][---------------file 4----------------]
prompt> |
You get the idea... How would I read this graph? I guess the colors are directories, but what are the different circles? The documentation says "Otherwise for the moment you must figure it out yourself." |

useful utility or not i don't think we should support blatant, unsancioned advertising on the forum. And i think that it's bad that an oss developer sinks to this level as well.

You really need a lot of imagination to find it out 
A slice on an outer ring is a subdirectory of the corresponding slice of the inner one. |

@ewan.paton: Oh sorry, thought it would have been added to the portage tree some time ago. The bug report is rather old, but that's how you get the ebuild now.

There's a bug report with an ebuild now for quite some time, which works really fine.
Why it's not included in portage, I don't know.
Quite useful though, I like it. Thought it keeps nagging me that my MP3 collection is hogging my harddisk, while I'd like to think it's all the temp files which I can delete easily...  |
