And not just kernel modules. The popular and useful sysutils/lsof not only requires the source tree (or at least some part of it), but requires the source match the running kernel.

Keep in mind that some ports (those that contain kernel modules) require the kernel sources. On my 7.2-RELEASE-p4 machine, /usr/src uses 495 MiB according to du(1). A bzip2 compressed tar archive of /usr/src weighs in at 83 MiB. If you are suffering from space constraints, consider doing a trimmed-down buildworld (on an external disk or on another machine) as well. Using src.conf(5) you can exclude a lot of stuff from the base system if you don't need it.

Re: Deleting the kernel source - just with #rm?
Thank you, Andrew,
clicketyclick - all source code gone now, and the config file is saved.
Can you please tell me about the issue with freebsd-update. Does it mean if I
run:
#freebsd-update fetch
#freebsd-update install
- it will overwrite my self compiled kernel? Good to know indeed!
Cheers

This should be fine.
Since you've built a custom kernel you may want to keep a copy of
your kernel build config ("LINT") file, eg. /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/HOSTNAME.
Note that you can't use freebsd-update to patch a custom (non-GENERIC)
kernel.
You can restore the kernel source code by extracting the ssys.??
binaries (normally found in the /src/ directory, eg.
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.2-RELEASE/src/ )
using install.sh (found in the same directory). Probably also with
sysinstall, but I don't recall the steps to do that.

Deleting the kernel source - just with #rm?
Daemons, a little question. I just compiled a nice, slim kernel on my laptop, but I dont want to carry all the kernel sources around there. Is it ok just to #rm the content of the /usr/src directory? And will I get it completely back from sysinstall or the FreeBSD-servers? Or is there a more elegant solution on FreeBSD?
