Richard,

If Georg *is* attempting to install the entire package collection...  The
method you described, i.e. using:

make update

executed from the /usr/pkgsrc directory should build, install, and clean for
each package as it works it's way through... correct?  This still wouldn't
remove the source from the /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles directory, but it should
help save *some* space.  I still doubt that a 1.2GB HDD will be sufficient
to hold the entire collection however...
