This is a tough question, if you now have a fully updated ports tree and you have sufficient diskspace then let it be that way. As you get things up running you'll get a feel of what you don't want/need. It is anoying if you have to wait for the update to complete, if you have flatrate connection, you may consider a cronjob to update the ports tree for you, say once a week or once a month. If you are newbie, then you might prefer not to update the ports tree so often, new ports may require other ports to be updated that are depended on by yet other ports. This can be a showblocker first time you stumple into it. So, let go with it for a while and get comfy with the OS. > How to use refuse file?
