If you do it at this time too can you keep track of the correct info that you have computed and use/maintain it later without having to recompute it? While we are on this topic of free space would it be possible to show it in MB, at least when it is less than 1 GB. I usually run at about 100 MB free and the current info is very vague... Cheers.
