Something's strange about your setup. The installer normally creates a separate partition for /usr and maybe /usr/local. If you're using pkg_add, then packages go in /usr/local, so they shouldn't end up on your root partition. If your disk is really tiny the installer won't create a separate /usr partition, but in that case it won't make a separate /home either. -- James
