Pretty cool! I tried it out and it works well. Looks like most of the space in
/usr is taken up by ports, particularly a port called teTeX, which occupies 33
MB alone. What is it?
Is there a clean way to delete ports that I don't intend to install, and then
download them if I ever do decide to put them in? Or maybe load them back off
the CD, in cases where I don't need the latest and greatest. The big files are
mostly in /usr/ports/distfiles. Not that I need the space _right now_, but I
like to keep the system tidy.
