Well, you could start doing some poking around looking for large files or
directories. Assuming you don't have to worry about commands wandering off
to network drives, you could do some things like this:
du -k / | sort -rn
to find directories with lots of content under them. Or like this:
find / -size +500000 -ls
(does FreeBSD have a '-ls' switch for find? If not use
find / -size +500000 -print | xargs ls -ld
) to find files over 500000 bytes (I think that's the default unit) in
size. And see if there's any hints in the names turned up?
