Would you like to install the FreeBSD ports collection?
 
This will give you ready access to over 17,000 ported software packages,
at a cost of around 100MB of disk space when "clean" and possibly
much more than that if a lot of the distribution tarballs are loaded
(unless you have the extra discs available from a FreeBSD CD/DVD distribution
and can mount it on /cdrom, in which case this is far less of a problem).
 
The ports collection is a very valuable resource and well worth having
on your /usr partition, so it is advisable to say Yes to this option.
