Nope, turns out that gives disk usage on a per file basis, not for an entire partition. 
There's a program I'm looking for - can't remember its name - but it gives the size of each partition, along with the amount of available space per partition ... all in a tabular format. Sorta like free only for hdd instead of RAM.

Just curious what distro your using?
Did you search all the man pages for it.
Search here http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php

RH 7.3 .... I haven't checked anywhere yet. Just wanted to check my available free space to make sure I wasn't running out and decided to post first.
Ok, here it is man this
then use whatever switch you want like -k ect...
In a terminal and not a run box ofcourse.
man df
then use whatever switch you want like -k ect...
df -k
In a terminal and not a run box ofcourse.
