Survey: How many space needs "/opt" in fact?

[gold_finger]

Y'all are about to make me think something's wrong with my 'puter!

Maybe you accidentally made a typo with du command.  Run this in terminal to list files/directories under root:

Code:

ls /

If you see "opt" in the output of that, then you must have typed-in du command incorrectly before.  Try again by just copying/pasting this:

Code:

sudo du -h -d1 /opt

If you don't see "opt" in output, that's a surprise to me -- I thought it was always a standard directory under root even if nothing is in it.
