> 
> I need to create a lsit of every file on my hard disk. ls -alR will do 
> that.
> 
> However, now I need to sort that list in descending order by size, and I 
> need to know in which directories they are.
> 
> i.e., I am trying to locate the largest files on my disk, for obvious 
> reasons.
> 
> Anyone have an idea how to do that?
