what's that app called? i'm using feisty, so i no longer see it. i think all versions from warty to edgy had this app, located in system > administration, and i believe it was called something like "disks" or something.

I just happen to like it, and i'd like to know what the package name is so i can download it.

thanks for your time.

Maybe Applications>Accessories>Disk Usage Analyzer?

Like this...?

You can also check out filelight in the Universe repositories. Pretty cool program.

just click on it to make it bigger.

see the program in system > administration called 'Discs' ?

Thnx because i really dont like disk analyzer which is buildin, it takes forever to load and the overview is not logic to me. Sofar i used the system monitor to check filesize or "df". filelight looks really nice!


sudo aptitude install filelight

It was removed because it was unmaintained.

Personally, I dodn'T like it that uch to begin with. It had a lot of problems.

I prefer the terminal over gui programs. I could go on for days saying how much I love the terminal. n_n

It's a glob, or globbing, aka a wildcard.
