Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I seem to have a bit of a problem and am hoping somebody can point me in te right direction. I'd originally installed 2.0 from the floppy images, then using SUP, I've been tracking the -STABLE branch (so in reality, I'm now running 2.1.5-STABLE). I have a fair number of ports installed and everything is working fine. Unfortunately, the whole system is running off a 500MB drive and I'm really short of space (>90% used). I have a CD-ROM subscription and so recently received the 2.1.5 release and added a SCSI controller so I can install the live file system. I'd hoped to be able to free up the space taken by the source tree. But if I do this, won't I then lose SUP (or CVS) capability? Is the 'live filesystem' CD of any real use to me in this configuration? -Dave
