Ok. I've just completed my first update using cvsup, then buildworld etc (I could have really benefitted from a faster machine). I'm wondering what I can safely remove now. From what I can understand /usr/obj can be removed. But /usr/src should stay to enable further updates to progress smoothly. Do I have that right? > <mike > -- > Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ > Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
