Mine is also a tri-boot but is W2K, XP-Pro, and FreeBSD. Since my systems go back to NT, my "C" drive is where I store stuff. Win98, for example would be on my "D" drive. As you can see from my df, you need ~700MB for /usr/src and /usr/obj. I think that you would need a FreeBSD filesystem to mount or link for system builds. You could squeeze /space down with something like Partition Magic and add another primary partition. Win98 and W2K wouldn't care about it and you would have the additional space you need. With only 1GB, you probably couldn't build something like kde-2.2 before you ran out of space because of /usr/ports. My /usr was full because I had all 5-iso's for 4.4-release on it.
