[iBook] Find my missing 7 gigs

[Matt Hurst]

It's probably my shoddy understanding of OS X, but having spent the
afternoon sweeping up files to stop my 30g hard drive filling up, I
just did some sums based on 'Get Info', and I seeme to have about 7
gigs missing:

Users folder: 2.97g
System: 1.06g
Library: 3.99g
Apps: 7.57g
Free: 8 gigs (according to Finder anyhow)

Which leaves me 7 gigs unaccounted for, or allowing for formatting
etc. on the HD, at least 4 gigs.

So what's OS X hiding from me, and why? Is my hard drive on the way
out (it's a 2 and half year old G4 1.2mhz iBook)?

cheers

Matt
