1.  I have about 800Mb in use on my 1.5Gb hard Disk, and Nuts & Bolts
reports that about 200Mb out of the 800 is slack.  How do I get rid of
it?

2.  I have recently upgraded to 64Mb of RAM, and rarely hear the disk
being accessed at all, except on bootup and occasionally during giant
downloads, or once a session when downloading new mail.  Should I care
about the compactness of my disk at all?


Thank you.
