Hi, In my first install of freeBSD 4.10, i selected X-developer and installed all the sources - not really knowing what I might need. I have 6 Gigs, and I keep running out of disk space when installing ports. I think I need to start again and select a smaller install. Eventually, I want to use freeBSD for 2 separate things - a server and a client. I am trying to get the client going first, and have selected KDE and am in the process of getting OpenOffice sorted out. I hope to convert an existing Excel application into a server component (written in java) and a client component (probably OO Calc with basic macros talking via some sort of SOAP implementation) Can I get some recommendations as to which install option I should choose for the client. (and the server too I guess) Specifically, which sets of source code would be best, if any. I hope to keep everything as vanilla as possible. Thanks to everyone who has been helping. Peter
