What is di? command? software package to download?
And konqueror returns this information:
"FSView intentionally does not support automatic updates when changes are
made to files or directories, currently visible in FSView, from the
outside."
I opened konqueror as root, and am reviewing info now. I have a picture of
my
hard drive, but so far nothing unusual. (I've seen this before, but haven't
done it in a while.)

but I am trying to keep an
open
mind, as
it could be another problem.
All in all, something is eating space on my root partition, but I can't
track down the culprit. My antivirus is up-to-date; my firewall blocks
EVERYTHING outgoing and only allows secure, encrypted connections on a
few ports. I keep watching for some kind of activity that might show me
what's going on, but so far it's a mystery.
I'm intending to resize my root partition back to 30 gb. (Everything's
already backed up and ready to go.) But if this is a different, bigger
problem, I would like to sort that out first.
Anybody have a clue what's happening?
I will be eternally grateful, or at least I'll be grateful for a pretty
long time.

Hi!
guess you never cleared the apt archive:
# apt-get clean
then you might look at the usual suspects:
# di -sch /*
or in konqueror, go to / or /home and select "View/View Mode/File size
view" ...
