Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was just checking my free disk space, and i see that my /usr slice is 49% full. And i don't really ave that much software installed. I have a 2 gig partition and used the standard setup for mount points. That means that out of 1.87 gig, i only have about half left. Now maybe i have all i need, but i may need to install star office or something else large like that. Is there a way t whittle some usage away in this directory? The only think i was thinking was deleteing unwated ports, but i don't want to do something i cannot reverse later. Is there a better way? -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
