This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_DmwKwCozzqhIlgn+9cmeEQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I recently decided to dump windows and take a much deserved breather with FreeBSD. So I installed 5.3 and was in for a real treat! However, I created a /-directory with 4G and installed the complete ports stuff from the CD. Now my root directory is almost filled up (after I installed all the Gnome Desktop stuff). I always do a make clean. Is there an easier way to only keep the ports stuff that is 'really' required? I noticed that there are tons of tarballs etc. in the /usr/ports/distfiles directory. Is it safe to delete all of these? Are there any other suggestions to keep my root directory from filling up? -- Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands --Boundary_(ID_DmwKwCozzqhIlgn+9cmeEQ)--
