A port first fetches the sources it need and places these in /usr/ports/distfiles/. You could empty this with: rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles/* You could also move /usr/src/ and /usr/obj to another machine and mount them from there. As a added bonus, you then can let the other machine do most of the building during updates of the main system. You could also move /usr/ports/ to this machine. You do need to edit the working directory in /etc/make.conf (copy it from /etc/defaults/ if it doesn't exist) becuase you don't want to mount the working directory. > > 2. just how much space should I need?

It depends on what you like to do. My kde workstaion has a 2 GB disk and du -h gives: /dev/ad0s1g 2.0G 1.5G 340M 82% /usr This doesn't inculde /usr/ports/, /usr/src/ and /usr/obj/, since I let antoher machine handle this. The later two are for upgrading your system. du -sh /usr/* gives: 287M X11R6 11M bin 85M compat 2.0K export1 1.5M games 145M home (one user) 8.8M include 28M lib 11M libdata 16M libexec 879M local 428M ports (exist on another computer; the minium is 250M) 334M src (exist on another computer) 435M obj (exist on another computer) 6.6M sbin 36M share For a workstation with X and sources you need 3G, without souces you need 2G. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/
