Hi Richard,

Your suggestions were right on.  Especially doing a clean on /usr/pkgsrc.  It
freed up over 800 MB!!!  Now I'm cooking with NetBSD.  Since then I've only
gone back to Linux for mail (Just to keep the same folders).  The much
smaller footprint of NetBSD is very nice.  Everything has been installed from
source except tiff (patch didn't) and xosview (did not install from source). 
Great system!

Thanks again,

Dave
