It ain't bad news for me if ye thought that =) I always look on the bright side. But this brings me to a thing I want to verify with you guys. rm -rf of /usr/src and /usr/obj will not interfere the system as it is now right? But where do I cvsup my files in? In /usr/src or on a seperate slice, this has me wondering up till now. Right now I cvsup into slice /src (wrong name, I know ;) and make world from /src/src, but obviously /usr/src doesn't get updated that way. Am I missing something stated with a 30 pt font on the webpages/manuals/handbook?
