The topic pretty much explains my problem. I had created a 14 gig root partition upon install, and It's only been a month and already 7.5 gigs are full. That doesn't make much sense to me, I've only installed KDE, and added a few programs. All my other files like movies, games, etc should be under my /home partition. Does this seem right to people? How could I free up some room, or figure out what's clogging up my root partition so much?
Thanks for you help.

Check out your /var/cache/pacman/pkg file.
Check out my website for info on the Arch Linux Installer

Well that file has about 856 files of tars, etc. 1.1 Gigs worth. That's a bit, but still doesn't seem like it'd be the cause of 7 gigs already being used. I know the KDE install is 700mb or so, but I'm not sure if that's just how much it is before it's installed or not.

Use the great text based program "ncdu" to show you what's taking up all your storage.
It's in the repos.

Excellent, thanks much for that! It's a nifty little program. It looks like I have 3.1 gigs in the /usr/ directory, mostly in the lib and share directories. 2.5 in /opt/, which seems to make sense for I have a few games on there apparently (Doom 3, ET, UT), and then the other big one would be in the Pacman directory listed above. After seeing this, I'm not sure if I should delete anything, or move the games to my home partition maybe? If what's there is there, and I'm not going to be losing a ton of more storage in my root partition over time, I should be OK I think.
