	You can remove all of /usr/games :).  You can also look thru
/usr/bin and after reading the man pages, delete programs that you don't
think you will use.  
	As for Kermit, try doing "stty -f/dev/tty01 clocal" before using
it.  Window used to core dump on me also.  I believe that it has been
fixed in -current, but am not positive.  Window is somewhat lame anyway.
Screen works much better and a port can be found on freebsd.cdrom.com.
