The section "The Ports Collection" will tell you how to use the | ||
ports and packages and the "Porting Applications" section | ||

The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles, | ||
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work | ||
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done | ||
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically | ||
cleaned without ill-effect, though if you don't have the original | ||
distribution tarball(s) for something on CDROM then you will need to pull | ||
it all over your network connection again if you ever try to build the | ||
associated port. | ||
