My advice would be to whack /usr/obj, which is where the stuff gets build INTO. It has, in effect, a copy of the entire OS and then some. My /usr/obj is 294M, and my /usr/src is 361M. But, other than that, yes: it's perfectly safe to delete /usr/src. - -Adam - -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx adamw@FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9yX1eo8KM2ULHQ/0RAj6XAJwIm7sizgOjo36mHbmT0pisOmimugCfbvtX DuqrIw6uVt0pwAqDQHF/nMY= =EbIX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
