No. I just didn't mention it :-) The intention in this table (out of the draft second edition of "The Complete FreeBSD") is to show people how much a typical tree holds. As such, it includes objects and such. Here's what comes after the table: The size of /usr/src/sys includes the files involved in a single kernel build. This changes the size of /usr/src as well, of course. Similiarly, the size of /usr/ports includes a few ports. It will, of course, grow extremely large if you start porting all available packages. Note, however, that that's less than the 53 MB in /usr/src/sys. Unfortunately, I've just discovered my mistake: I had the ports tree inside /usr/src, so it's been counted twice. Take 160 MB off that figure... (crawls into corner and dies of shame) Greg
