This particular box sort of grew without significant changes over the past 3 years so it is a little bit, errr, disorganize. One of these days it'll get wiped and have a clean install over it instead of trying to reorganize. Just an interesting comment - all that space just came back. Very annoying. > 1 /nonexistent > > Why did you create that?

It's been ther for two years and nobody remembers why it was there or who put it there. Like I said, what this machine needs is just a new install over it.
