thanks.

Ozzy, 20 what?

man find:

-size n[c] True if the file is n blocks long (512 bytes
per block). If n is followed by a c, the
size is in bytes.

I think I find like this:

#find / -size 20c (in Kbyte)

Not really, that would find files (if any) of exactly 20 bytes in size. I'm assuming that's not what you want. For files of (exactly) 20 Mb, you'd need:

find \ -size 20971520c

To find any files bigger than 20 Mb, precede the number with a +.

HTH.

Sorry - got my slashes mixed up:
