[-- Attachment #1 --] hello: i just made xfree86-4.2.0 after a clean install of FreeBSD 4.5 with the ports collection and no x. the make went well, but after 'make install', it cooks along for awhile, then i run out of space on my /usr slice. i am running a 3.2 GB disk with s 1.4GB /usr slice--why is this happening? I was under the impression that FreeBSD was fairly small. What can i safely delete (or move) to make room for X? How do I find the size of any particular directory? Where (in the standard documentation) should i read about this? I do read before i mail, but i haven't found any help yet. Thank you. jolok [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello:<BR><BR>i just made xfree86-4.2.0 after a clean install of FreeBSD 4.5 with the<BR>ports collection and no x. the make went well, but after 'make install', it<BR>cooks along for awhile, then i run out of space on my /usr slice. i am<BR>running a 3.2 GB disk with s 1.4GB /usr slice--why is this happening?
