Before you do that, (it can be time-consuming on big drives) you may want to look in /tmp and /var, (/var/log can get big unexpectedly) If you do a lot of work as root, check root's home directory (/root) to make sure it isn't full of config data, core dump files, etc. Sometimes a "find / -name "*.core" -delete" can work wonders. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
