Aah. I figured they would be bigger due to that, but I didn't think it would be 3x bigger. Couple of non-related Qs: 1. Is there a freebsd/alpha rc5 client available? I couldn't find one at distributed,net 2. Anyone know how to set up a "make world" so that /tmp is not used? My "make world" keeps crashing because it fills up the root partition during the build. I was trying to find a way to set the tmp space to /usr/tmp, but couldn't see anything in /usr/share/mk/* Don> -Don Viren -- Viren R.
