I try to leave some files around each time, like
/home/{wheel,ucc.other}/du-sk.20000112 . They'll let you see who's taking
up lots of room and (importantly) what large changes there have been.

There's /home/wheel/bin/nukecaches and /home/wheel/bin/nukecores . Always
read scripts like that before running it, then ignore them and do exactly
what you need to do, slowly, manually and _carefully_. ::-) They don't
tend to help much these days, but if you find something else you want
to search for, you can modify them.

Large unpacked source directories can be a problem - poke the owners and
see if they really do need that year old version of XYZ, or whether they
can make clean/tar-gzip/diff/delete it.

Nick.
