And take a look at du -hs /usr/ports/distfiles/ /usr/ports/packages You shouldn't really need any packages. And you can manage distfiles with portsclean (installed with portupgrade). Left unmanaged they can quickly mount up to several GB. A full set of up-to-date files for a desktop machine should take up about a 1 GB. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
