Kent, Here is the output of 'df -m' Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 193 97 80 55% / /dev/ad0s2f 787 683 41 94% /usr /dev/ad0s2e 48 0 43 2% /var procfs 0 0 0 100% /proc /dev/ad2s5 11579 1982 9596 17% /space It is a tri-boot machine, /space is an extended DOS partition that I share with Win98 and Win2K. As you can see, plenty of room there, but I am only devoting about a Gig to FreeBSD.
