Have been poking around and playing. Still haven't done a proper cleanup of /etc. But did get around to enabling softupdates this morning. Curious to know if it does any good I ran "time cvs -q update -P -d" four times against /usr/src using /home/ncvs as the CVSROOT. Considering nothing was changing this is essentially a no-op operation. With only rc5des running (no X, no net connection) this took between 17:22 and 17:39 to complete each iteration. With softupdates on all but root, 11:31 to 11:37. System is a PPro166/512k OC'ed to 210 MHz. 64MB. Asus SC875 SCSI. IBM DCHS09W (9G, wide, fast-not-ultra). -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
