AFAIK, 200K made it possible to fit pretty well on both 1.2M 5.25" DS/HD floppies (4 of them) and 1.44M 3.5" DS/HD (5 of them). Making chunks 1.44M would break ability to install from 1.2M diskettes. I'd rather prefer leave it as it was (200K). ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
