--As for the rest, it is mine. You didn't fill /etc. You filled /usr. Which happens to be where the ports tree lives, and where any applications you've installed go. The current FAQ recommendation[1] for that is 6G, and they note that if you are building things from source you could need a lot more. The 'minimum' system listing[2] has it using 660M, so you were over half full just from the install. If you have any spare disks, I'd say put one in and 'union' mount it over the current /usr partition. (Or just plain copy everything over - making sure to preserve permissions and links - and replace your current mount.) The other option of course is to find some programs you aren't using and delete them. Daniel T.
