For example, > > # mkdir /usr/src/3.0-STABLE > # cd /usr/src/3.0-STABLE > # ctm -v /where/you/store/your/deltas/src-3.* Okay, I did this, but I still have a question... df shows 431878K free on /usr before doing ctm (that's 39% full), and 241579K free on /usr _after_ doing ctm (that's 66% full). That's about 185MB - is that supposed to happen? I'm used to upgrades _replacing_ things instead of _adding_ (at least _that_ much!). Is there something else I'm supposed to do after I use the ctm command, or is the outcome I got just normal? Thanks, Charon@freethought.org http://members.home.net/tuathadedanann/ Sitting in the glove compartment makes me claustrophobic.
