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. It looks like I understated the savings. It saves 6.5M for our cut down tree (which tries to grab as few of the /bin and /sbin binaries as it can). For the full tree it saves 12-13M (2.1M vs 14.4M). My cut down minimal system went from 14.7M to 8.2M. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
