df -h shows that i'm using up 9.2GB or 9.4GB!  I'm not sure why i'm
consuming so much of memory. I recently used cscope (cscope -R) on the
kernel source, I wasn't sure where it stored the database information. Is it
because of those database files not being recycled?

Also is there any temp or share folder that i might have to delete to clear
up some space.

And i tried uninstalling openoffice and when i did aptitude remove
openoffice.org-common, it said it'll remove ubuntu-desktop along with a
bunch of openoffice applications, I wasn't sure if that might create
problems? Is this the right way to uninstall openoffice?

I'm guessing its the memory because i just installed iSCSI, I haven't
configured it or mounted any remote disk, speaking of which, is there any
good source to configure iSCSI other than the README, i tried looking up
online, but couldn't find anything really useful.

Thanks,
