Maybe now it will work a bit better. That is a very bad reason, if this disk space saving and not having to see all the ../.. scroll by on your terminal as make buildworld runs is your motivation for this I would say we need to stop now and have a more reasonable and serious discussion about why this is actually a good idea. Please go fix the bug in your browser and hold off on these changes (in either direction) until a proper discussion, possibly real tests to see if there is any savings in cycles worthy of this sized change. > -Ngie -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
