I think that if I were running -release, I should even mount it read-only after making the man pages. On the other hand, /var contains log files and /var/crash so lot of free space is needed in case a kernel panic occurs. In my case, /var/tmp is *the* candidate for vi.recover. ------ ------ Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr (smtp) charnier@xp11.frmug.org (uucp) ``a PC not running FreeBSD is like a venusian with no tentacles'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
