Around 250 megabytes, if you have the whole CVS tree and did a `make world' recently. If I ran du right, it should be 330 megabytes, approximately.

(if any that is) No. The FreeBSD filesystem is structured to avoid fragmentation, unlike the DOS FAT which is really bad about it. Just don't let your disk get too full or the files will fragment pretty badly. The only way to fix a really badly fragmented disk is to back it up, remove everything, then restore. > Also what is this top command Ive seen mentioned here? Top is a system monitoring utility. For your 2.1.7 box you'd have to get the package or port; in 3.0-CURRENT it's now part of the system.
