That is probably 9 GB including all the unpacked source, the tarball, the left over build tree, etc, all stuff you can delete after the build completes. Still seems like too much though. Anyway, certainly the precompiled binary package will use less space.=20 For comparison, on my Linux box openoffice.org-2.0.2 only takes about 270 MB installed. I don't know how to determine sizes and such yet on FreeBSD though, as I'm still new to it. It's probably in the Handbook or man pages.
