block sizess

hi
I'm experiencing disk full errors on one of my boxes and can't unzip an archive that contains tests to execute( last file in zip - a data file is truncated) I've tried df on the box with the problem and freespace is 100418912 from a df command. How much is that exactly? It's in 1k-blocks (1024kilobytes? 1024 kilobits?)


An ls -l on the folder containing all the files in the zips totals at 70284989 (Kilobytes? kilobits?) I've man'ed ls and it does'nt say how the filesize is returned

can anyone explain?
thanks

check if this works in your system:
Code:
df -h
the -h option displays disk sizes in human readable format

check if this works in your system:
Code:
ls -lh
the -h option displays file sizes in human readable format
