[Chris Penwell]

the promised script posting:

#!/bin/bash

#What  do we want to scan? enter the root directory of 
#what you wish to scan

kdialog --inputbox "enter directory" / > ~/.filelight
var1= cat ~/.filelight

#Execute the file itself using the temp file created
#echo $var1

/usr/local/kde/bin/filelight $var1

#clean the Temp file after we close down

> Thanks. It's good for "at a glance" filesystem usage.
