One way:
Code:
find . -type d -exec du -s '{}' \; | awk '$1>100{print $2}'

@Pikk45:
Your solution is relying on the size shown by the ls -l output which actually is the block size for a directory. The size of directory should be determined by the total accumulated size of all files present in the directory which du command does.

Guru.

Cool!! You are the GURU Smilie

But when you execute the command of yours, won't it take the present directory that is "." into account as well? <whisper: Got you on this one Smilie>
