Is that going to be enough? 1) It is _very_ important to keep the kernel and userland in sync. 2) huff@>> du -s /usr/src 442996 /usr/src As a ball-park estimate, figure 1Gb when you need to update. Assuming you have a high-speed connection, I would rebuild world and kernel per the handbook. After installing and testing the new system I would save the kernel config file elsewhere and delete /usr/src and /usr/obj. THe next time you need to rebuild you'll need to clear the disk and download the entire source tree, but you'll have the disk available until then. Robert Huff
