My library folder was empty when I started. It is on my /home directory.

Is there a command line option I can run to delete the original files as it runs? I do not have enough hard drive space to duplicate the entire collection.

Is there also a way to limit the RAM that Calibre uses? It is using 100% of 2Gigs on Ubuntu which means I cannot run the import as a background process..

Thanks
