The partition holding my root directory is full. Before I go through 
the trouble of re-installing the system and making a larger root 
partition, is there something I can do to trim down the files in the 
root? (The file "netbsd" does seem fairly large.)  Would customizing 
the kernel help? Can I customize the kernel with no spare disk space?)

Or am I out of luck and need to start over with a larger root 
partition? Thanks in advance. -Scott Flodin

Here's my df:

% df -k

kernfs              1        1        0   100%    /kern


and here's my ls -l
