This goes for fsck, gzip and so on. The directory is in total >approx 22 Mb. Has it always been like this, or is it a feature of 2.2.6? Notice that that size of file will fit on a single floppy. Hmmm.... Take a look at your boot floppy too. It also has the same 22 MB. How can that be you ask? They are all the exact same file. Do 'ls -la' you will notice a number right after the mode (e.g. -rwxr-xr-x 8 user group filename). In this case 8 is the number of hard links to "filename". This means that there are 8 files that are hard linked to the same bits on the disc. See 'man ln' for information on hard links and soft links. Thank you, | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at. Jason Wells | http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
