Hello,
This probably isnt the place to be posting this question  BUT...ive always gottin good advise from this mailing list so here goes nothing............
i have a recently upgraded FreeBSD 4.2 from 4.1...and my problem is that im runing out of space on the /var partition (i recieve alot of system mail  in that partition which i have to delete daily to keep it at 99%) ..im not sure what i can delete to make room...although if i go to 
/var/tmp       theres a dir thats called "temproot" ..i think it was from when i CVS the new 4.2 src..and installed....can i delete this dir???  this is the dir structure under /var

account/        crash/          games/          msgs/           rwho/           yp/
at/             cron/           log/            preserve/       spool/
backups/        db/             mail/           run/            tmp/

if anyone has any suggestions.... they would be greatly appreciated.....

thanx in advance
Brent
