Mike: Here's what I was given to find the core dumps (All this is command line in Linux) To find all "core" files you could try following: "find -name core 2> /dev/null", takes forever thou. You could even try this "rm `find -name core 2> /dev/null`" which will try to delete all found files. WARNING with a typo (mine or yours) you could nuke your system. Other options are to look in directories for the core dump files, starting with the root directory. They're basically memory dumps of when things go south - I couldn't read them and the folks who helped me (Thanks Jarmo and Ted) assured me deleting wasn't likely to hurt anything. What I found was that my distro put "root's" files in the root directory, which was relatively small. Didn't take long to fill it - a few trips on-line (Netscape was in root) and a couple of core dumps.
