Bob, I did these at night!

Yep, also I got much of the way through an X11 install [much larger than
I'd anticipated, holding off for now] before blowing /usr.

I don't think so:
FreeB df -h

And I've got a 2 1/2 GB ide sitting in my desk I bought from a neighbor for
$5. My current thinking is that if New Year's Day is uneventful as usual I
might open the box and [I think the right procedure is]
-- set it to master
-- set the cdrom to slave
-- install this (3d) hd on the secondary ide channel in front of the cdrom
Then see about having /usr span ad1 - ad2

Hmm, looks like I finally have to learn a little about what I'm trying to
do. Here's the story. I haven't installed CVS yet, and my iso was sitting
around some months before I got it installed [thanks Adrian, wherever you
are ;) ].
So I d/l'd from mysql.org the file
mysql-max-4.0.16-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz and put that into
/usr/ports/distfiles, but tried the make install from
/usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/ which I'm sort of guessing has been
setup for an older distribution? I got this:
make install
You may use the following build options:
WITH_CHARSET=charset Define the primary built-in charset (latin1).
WITH_XCHARSET=list Define other built-in charsets (may be 'all').
WITH_OPENSSL=yes Enable secure connections.
DB_DIR=directory Set alternate directory for database files
(default is /var/db/mysql).
WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes Use the linuxthreads pthread library.
OVERWRITE_DB=yes Re-initialize default databases
SKIP_DNS_CHECK=yes Don't run resolveip to do an additional
DNS check before inserting local hostname to
mysql database
(use if your machine has no official DNS
entry).
BUILD_STATIC=yes Build a static version of mysqld.
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes Add -mcpu=i686 to CFLAGS.

IOW a whole bunch of junk seems to amount to my port is older than what I
d/l'd. Am I guessing right? Is my best course now following The FreeBSD
Diary advice on installing CVS (or is it CVSUP?)?
