Same place that you used to copy showeq.conf.dist to.

/usr/local/share/showeq

Why don't you just do a 'ld' (list directory, with the appropriate switches to see the filesizes and see for yourself?

If you don't understand Linux, then http://www.linux.org (the Documentation section) will help you understand the Operating System.

ld, huh.. I think you mean ls, or what he'd probably want, something more like:
ls -la | more

Can a man make a typo? =) You catched me right before I noticed it myself, but realy, he should try to learn Lunux himself.

A gig?! Last I noticed, I think the whole directory is something like 5 meg, most of that being the maps. If you cd into the directory you installed from and type 'du -ks' that will show you a nice summary of the size of the directory and all of it's subdirectories. I think you may have lost that gig of space somewhere else.

Edit: Sorry, I posted in haste and didn't read the title. I think the file you are looking for is /usr/local/share/showeq/spawnlog.txt.

How much you wanna bet what he REALLY wants to look for is core files?

The best why to clean out your hard drive and free up ALOT of space would be to run the following command as root:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda you can also use the command I have in my sig, the result is the same...
