My advice would be to whack /usr/obj, which is where the stuff gets build INTO. It has, in effect, a copy of the entire OS and then some. My /usr/obj is 294M, and my /usr/src is 361M. But, other than that, yes: it's perfectly safe to delete /usr/src. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9yX1eo8KM2ULHQ/0RAj6XAJwIm7sizgOjo36mHbmT0pisOmimugCfbvtX DuqrIw6uVt0pwAqDQHF/nMY= =EbIX -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Can I delete /usr/src ?
Yes. However, if you have custom kernel configuration files in /usr/src/sys/i368/conf, then save them some place safe if you have not done this already. Then remove with rm -rf /usr/src/* This will leave the /usr/src directory. An alternative is to tar and compress /usr/src with tar czf /tmp/usr-src-2002.11.05-archive.tar.gz /usr/src I've given my favorite archive naming convention. You can use it or use your own. When done, delete /usr/src as above. You can always CVSup the source again at a later time. Of course, if you still have concerns that have not been addressed here or I've gone astray from your original question, then don't delete anything until you get them answered.

Currently it's consuming roughly 340 MB of space ? thanks, Darryl You can delete /usr/src, and also /usr/obj, but next time you want to do an upgrade I guess it will take longer to get all the sources. If you can manage by only delete /usr/obj it would be the best for you, if upgrading in the future. Also, if deleting /usr/src, and hence /usr/src/sys too, you can not compile your kernel if you change any hardware.

RE: Can I delete /usr/src ?
Many appologies, I mean /usr/obj but stated /usr/src. I have purged /usr/obj and now have my space back. Many thanks to all that responded. -Darryl To: Darryl Hoar Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can I delete /usr/src ?

That can save lots of your disk space. -- 0A 0D 0A 2D 2D 20 0D 0A 44 6F 6D 69 6E 69 6B 20 ...-- ..Dominik 4C 75 70 69 6E 73 6B 69 20 2F 2F 20 79 68 70 78 Lupinski // yhpx 40 61 6C 70 68 61 2E 6E 65 74 2E 70 6C 0D 0A 2E @alpha.net.pl...
