haven't found a way to get a total of that space. I studied the "rm" man
page, and saw no option to have "rm" follow those links and delete the real
files on the other end of them. I also saw no indication that rm does that by default.
So how do I do the recommended deleting including having the real files on the other end
of links deleted? With 13800+ links, that could add up to a lot of space.
Where do they link to?
From memory.....
I recall they link places such as /usr/include and others which would be needed to
properly generate
a stack trace.
