The one I noticed was that the ports tree moved from /usr/src/ports to /usr/ports. Possibly groff moved from /usr/src/gnu to /usr/src/contrib, but I couldn't be sure. On the whole, I would strongly recommend getting the complete sources in /usr/src. You may save a little space by removing things you can get away without, but the time spent trying it would offset the gain. Greg
