No, I forgot to say first cd'd to the X11/XFree86-4 dir.

Thanks, that helps.

Ok, I did rm -r /usr/ports/x11 and now /usr's down to 87%. That's breathing 
room at least. I think pacing this learning experience is a good thing; 
I've got Apache, PostgreSQL and Lynx up and running and that's plenty with 
Perl for starters. The more digging I do in the Handbook the better off I'm 
getting so I think I'll try and avoid trouble for awhile and stay away from 
the ports collection. :)

Alex, could you recommend a way for me to filter out anything under a 
certain threshold? Grep wouldn't do the trip for this, right? IOW 
list  everything on /usr greater than say 50MB? Or am I best off grep'ing 
the du output to a little perl app since that's the language I'm most 
comfortable with?
