I need some help. I'm not a complete newbie but I'm new enough to not 
know which files are actually needed in my / filesystem.

my current df -k shows

Filesystem  1K-blocks   Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    100750  82898     9792    89%    /
/dev/ad0s1g  10080382 766404  8507548     8%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1h  15421366  26432 14161226     0%    /usr/home
/dev/ad0s1e    201518   3332   182066     2%    /var
/dev/ad0s1f   2015918    144  1854502     0%    /var/mail
procfs              4      4        0   100%    /proc

and I am aware that if / gets to 100% the system has a good chance of 
crashing.

how can I tell what files can be removed in order to free up some space? 
and/or how can i tell which files are the largest and need to be addressed?

Thanks in advance,
REM
