Subject: Is there a better "du" space listing with directory tree indenting ?

Ok, normally I use a command like du -h --max-depth=1 --block-size=1 * to list which directories occupy how much space. However the resulting list could be more human readable if the directory entries are indented according to their level. I would appreciate a listing form like 300000 \root 10000 \etc 200000 \usr 80000 \home 20000 \name1 50000 \name2 10000 \name3 10000 \var Of cause the listing above is not complete for a Linux system but it should only show what I mean with "indenting". Does should a "du" command line command beautifier exist ? Pay attention to the fact that the size values are right justified in the column! Matthew
