You'll have to find all files on the root device, telling find to exclude other mounted filesystems, and have it report the size in a common format (eg. in kilobytes). Then you can sort that output in reverse, and have head display the first 20 lines. Or, in code:
Code:
find / -xdev -type f -exec du -ks {} \; | sort -nr | head -20

bup-drecurse(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   bup-drecurse(1)

NAME
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem SYNOPSIS
bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--exclude path] [--exclude-from filename] [--profile] <path> DESCRIPTION
bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1). In most cases, you should use find(1) instead. This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm used in bup-index(1). Note that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in bup-index(1). This is important because you can't generate the hash of a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children. When listing files in reverse order, the parent directory will come after its children, making this easy. OPTIONS
-x, --xdev, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries. -q, --quiet don't print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms. --exclude=path a path to exclude from the backup (can be used more than once) --exclude-from=filename a file that contains exclude paths (can be used more than once) --profile print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms. EXAMPLE
