Hi there,

I've installed freebsd 4.9 and am currently busy with
installing third party apps through the ports
collection.
What worries me however is the size of my /var
directory.
Take a look at my disk geometry..
I also had to get rid of a pkg.db file in the
/var/db/pkg directory because it took a lot of space.

q1) Do I have to worry about my /var<directory
q2) How can I get rid of files I don't need (like
XFree86.0.log..)
Other suggestions are welcome...

Brgds
