Space used... by what ??



Ok, I installed RH 6 a week ago, and it marked it used something like 320
MB, both during install, and close to that when explored from within
Windows - via Partition Magic.

Then I fooled a bit trying to install WordPerfect 8 : I first copied all
files in a directory I have created.  Then as my trials always failed, I
scrapped everything to the Trash.  I went root, and emptied the trash.
Before I finally copied another version of WordPerfect and install it,
Partition Magic was still showing around 420MB used: that is almost 100MB
more than my installation of Linux, and I can't see what these MB are!!...

Any explanation of what may have happened??  Does the trash empty in...
another (hidden) trash ??...

Note: I may sound a bit shaky about a space "as little" as 100MB, but my
entire space devoted to Linux is 700 MB... (plus a mere 70 MB for swap).

Thanks,

Robert
