Hi Søren,

I would start by installing the sysutils/xdu port (don't worry, it's
quite small!) and then do:

cd /usr
du | xdu

and it will graphically show you how much room things are taking up
on the disk.

Yes; "cd /usr/ports && make -DNOCLEANDEPENDS distclean" will remove
both the distfiles (e.g. the .tar.gz files that the source came in) and
the work directories that were used to compule the ports.  This has no
effect on your ability to run the software you installed.
