(i am assuming that you are building X from the ports.) installed files will not fill up the 3 GB disk, but X sources -- more so when you have both compressed & expanded sources -- very well will. over here, i have 4.0.x installed w/ other X programs in /usr/X11R6 and they take 281 MB. if you have space on /, then you may want to move compressed X source there, create symlinks from there to /usr/ports/distfile. > What can i safely delete (or move) to make room for X? you could probably get rid of /usr/src if you have it; delete non essential parts of /usr/ports as far as plain X is concerned. you may want to restore them after installing & testing X, followed by "make distclean". > How do I find the size of any particular directory?
