Hi

There are a BUNCH of files in src/etc/etc.i386 that _REALLY_ should
be nuked: (Look at the dates on some of these!)

- 21508 Feb 17 17:05 MAKEDEV
Does this have to be here? (Better in src/RELEASE with its baby brother
../MAKEDEV.Local?)

-  6474 Jun 28  1994 README.1ST
- 36633 Jun 28  1994 README.INSTALL
These README's are for 1.1.5.1

- 28831 Sep 15 06:46 cdinst1.install
-  2199 Apr 18  1994 cdinst1.profile
-   367 Feb 21  1994 cpio.install*
-  9135 Jun 29  1994 cpio.magic
-  3111 Sep 15 06:46 cpio.rc
AFAICSee, these are all for the 1.1.5.1 install floppies.

-  5178 Feb 20  1994 disktab
This, I believe, could comfortably live in src/etc

-    80 Jun 20  1993 fstab.wd
WTF is this?

- 30179 Oct 17 04:32 inst1.install*
-   159 Feb 21  1994 inst1.profile
- 10680 Sep 15 06:46 inst2.rc
-  1744 Sep 15 06:46 kc.profile
More 1.1.5.1 crud...

Also the Makefile in src/etc (which has been worked on recently) seems
mainly concerned with making 1.1*-style install floppies. Can we not
chuck it out?

Whenever I do a build world, I resort to a hand checking of the files in
src/etc directory to see what has changed. What about some way of
automating this, so a make install will install the (hopefully) non-
customisable files (like rc, services etc) and leave alone the ones
that users are supposed to mess with (like netstart and hosts)?
