A pretty good example would be /usr/ports/distfiles. And if you don't do a "make clean" after you installed a port you have a complete source tree, including object files and read to be installed binaries in a ./work-subdir of every port you installed. cd /usr/ports ; make clean will help in this case. And is it possible that your home-Directory is actually /usr/home/<username>? In all FreeBSD installations I did my home-dirs end up there, /home being just a symlink to /usr/home. HTH Christian
