539M
home/Avery 886K + 9.9M =?
home/David 1233K

What's that 12 M personal files?   I'm not sure the difference between K 
and M I think K is 1000Bytes and I think M is 1 000 000Bytes

I think there is somethingextra in the cache but I don't know what it is

Since the -d dist-upgrade there is extra stuff in kstart/quick 
brower/home/avery there is all this  package stuff I don't know what it is
If I click on the Konqueror/home I can only bring it up if I click on 
show hidden files
Its on home/david only when clicking on show hidden files in konqueror/home


In  kstart/system/info centre/memory
Disk Cache 42%
disk buffer 9.5M
Application Data 46%
free memory 3M
this is only approximate as it keeps changes

Computerbank on this
