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.

greetings,
I cvsupped from 4.7-release to 4.7-stable. Followed all the steps to do
that.
I need to reclaim some disk space. Can I delete the files under /usr/src?
Currently it's consuming roughly 340 MB of space ?
thanks,
Darryl
