the 2GB availalbe , is after a fresh reboot.

If I've been going at Photoshop  and iPhoto for awhile.. I know I've 
seen that 2GB almost disappear .
and a logout/login  or sometimes a fresh reboot is needed to clear that 
up.

I'm just trying to figure if maybe somewhere, there's something taking 
up an awful amount of space ? 8GB my OSX partition is currently using..
All my large files..  iPhoto library, iTunes Library.  even my personal 
working files.. such as photoshop files etc.. are all stored on an 
external FirewWire drive.
