Yup. if you are hauling the *entire* FreeBSD tree you need *major* space. You are grabbing the entire CVS repository from Long Ago and it is HUGE. > A few questions: I trust CVS updates the main files, but it also > seems to keep a complete backup. Which ones do I use? It keeps all previous revisions to all files in the source tree. I'm not a whiz at CVSup though so I could be completely wrong :) > Is there an (X?) program that will show disk usage so I can > clean some things out? xdu, the X counterpart to the du program. > Once I get the source (which I'm not sure is current or > stable), is make world the best way to apply updates? Perhaps. If you are tracking -current you should subscribe to the freebsd-current mailing list for the latest updates.
