Hey, Try /usr/ports/make clean, this will remove all temporary port build files, also you may wanna look in /usr/ports/distfiles/ and delete any old files(these were used by the ports), as for /usr/src/ you can /tar/delete/backup/ but you will need these files if you need to recompile. Also read man du, this can help you track down some wasted space..... At 08:10 PM 2/29/00 +0100, Simon J Mudd wrote: >Hope this is the place to ask (and not freebsd-newbies).
