This is the end of that list.  I assume it is rolled up, as in /usr/share and 
/usr/lib are all rolled up to /usr, and /usr and /home are both included in 
the / count.  I still don't see where all the space went.  As you can see 
below, the vast majority of my data (10G of 12G) is in my /home partition.  
I'm still confused.
