Thanks for the reply. I have 4G of memory on host machine. I configured the virtual machine to use 128MB. Not sure why I'm still having space issues. I guess I should periodically close/open web browsers, virtualBox, and other apps inorder to clear memory?
Since we are on the topic of space.
My initial partitions were:
/ : 1G
swap: 2G
tmp: 3G
var: 4G
usr: 30G
I installed FreeBSD DVD on my virtual box. Then I installed the following packages and their dependencies xorg, KDE, emacs.
1) Which partition is being reduced with port installations?
2) What should my partition sizes be so that I could could provide FreeBSD with the necessary resources so it can run efficiently?
3) Should I make separate partitions or keep one big partition?
