Chris Byrnes <chris@awww.jeah.net> types: > are the "rmt" and "remote" in /etc needed? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Very little on the disk is *needed* (let's see - /kernel, /sbin/init and /bin/sh can get you a shell prompt....). However, taking off everything but those doesn't leave your system capable of doing very many useful tasks. That said, everything on the disk is needed to do some task. The question is whether or not the tasks that need /etc/rmt and /etc/remote are useful to you. Trying "man `basename <filename>`" for a file is a good start at finding out what tasks a file is used for (and "man -k `basename <filename>`" is a good second shot). <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
