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.
