I think I have some hidden files on my system, and I would like to
know what command I would use to view them, or find them if any.  My
root partition has about 26 megs of files that are unacounted for, and
is causing my system to crash sometimes, because it can easily be
filled because of this.  If you have any suggestions please reply to
me via email or new reply, thanx a lot.
