OK. It is / were multiple issues.

1. /dev/home is 10GB of a 111 Gb hard drive, with the eleventh GB being
a 1GB swap file, and the remainder 100 Gb being /dev/hda3

2. I see a minimal amount of folders, and having some trouble figuring
out ksnapshot, I will only state that they appear to be the normal
selection that are built into /dev/home on most Linux installs.

What is 'funny' is that the report in super user mode of the kfilesystem
 GUI display, under properties, is the report that the 10Gb drive is
stuffed full with 321 folders, with 4500 files!  I still don't know what
or where those are!

Anyway, as a temporary stopgap, when I couldn't email, or work, couldn't
log in, I booted from a LiveCD and moved partitions around, so that the
/dev/home has 55Gb of the 111 Gb drive.

Now, it is showing 13 Gb used.  I feel like a liberal democrat
politician.  Don't know where we're going, can't state where we are, and
have no recollection of where we've been! I only pick on them because
they have majority rule in the House, and Speaker Pelosi has not gotten
passed any of the laws she promised in the first 100 days.  And, will
deny/forget there were promises to do so.

As to the other drives, connected with firewire, they show up fine, and
I have control through the Kfilesystems as Super File User or some
such... It is graphical, so too easy, and I tend to forget things this
late in the evening, having gone out for groceries for two hours between
starting this, and finishing it, now.

Happy Memorial Day early...
