OK, this seems to become an uphill battle. First of all, thank you sephe, because your solution worked :-).
New problem, pkg install kde says insufficient free space in /var/cache/pkg. So, du -sh -> var is 1G, 157M used. man pkg, pkg clean -> nothing to do. OK. cd /var/, du * -sh -> yep, 147 MB in /var/cache. So, cd cache, cd pkg, ll -> there's a whole bunch of files pertaining the installing of xorg in there. Well I don't need them, get rid of them (rm). pkg install kde -> no, insufficient space. cd /var, du * -sh -> only 40K in cache. df -h -> var is 1G, 157M used. Now I am at a loss. The disc is setup with the UDF file system, not HAMMER or ZFS or something fancy. Kind regards.
