For small systems that have / and /usr on the same file system, you can save about 5M-6M of disk space by making /bin and /sbin shared. Since this is undesirable for systems that have / and /usr on different file systems, I thought I'd make an option. What should I call the option? I'm thinking SLASHED_SHARED, but that's a horrible name. I've already rejected DANGEROUS_SBIN_BIN_SHARED_OPTION as being too long Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
