Disk space analyzer for console?

Hi,
I'm looking for a program like KGraphSpace (Screenshots) that shows me which directory does use how many disk space but it must run within the console because it's a server without X.
I want to find the folders which contains the biggest files to clean up my system.

I'd use a little bash scripting:

gt5 is also nice (it's in portage).

I can also recommend ncdu (screen).
Moreover it is also included in the portage.

HINT: if you want to scan your all directories starting from root,
but excluding other partitions,
try to unmount those partitions.
This will speed up the calculating process
