File Manager for Gnome 2

[paulx82]

I just put on Redhat 7.2 and used Linux for the first time, yesterday. I used the basic Workstation install with Gnome. I have only a 2 gigabyte hard drive and I was wanting to know how much space I still had on the disk. I can't work out how to find out how much space each of my folders and hard drive is taking up in Nautilus. Will I have to use the terminal to find this out? Also, how do I simply rename files in Nautilus? They have copy, paste, etc. but no rename in the Edit menu. I've searched for a good file manager for Gnome, but I've only found file managers for KDE. Does anyone know of some good file manager download locations for Gnome? I would put KDE on, but I am concerned about disk space. Thanks in advance for helping this newbie out.

To find out how much free space you got, execute df from a shell. I personally use GMC as my file manager, I'm not sure it comes with RedHat 7.2, but you can download it from RedHat's website. //Daniel

This shows you how much used and available disk space on each partition...

[root@cp root]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 6.6G 1.2G 5.1G 18% /
/dev/hda1 99M 8.7M 84M 10% /boot
none 188M 0 188M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb 31G 30G 91M 100% /var/ftp

This will show you the total size of a directory....

[root@cp root]# du -sh /ftp/
30G /ftp
