As for distfiles, I d/led emacs, pine, xview ( don't remember getting
that one) and also have a xc directory with xc-1.
Otherwise, just a couple of games. I don't have a browser either.
The HD sure seemed to fill up fast though. I must have clicked on
something that I am not aware of. The above distfiles totals around
30 megs. I think I should still have plenty of room.
Thanks for your help.
Mike
ps- my first email sent via FreeBSD!!!! :)
pss- My computer roots are the Amiga. I have a A500 and A3000
sitting right here. Since I am using my homebrewed pc on the
net, OS2 and FreeBSD get me as close to my beloved Amiga as
possible! I really enjoy OS2 Warp!
ANYTHING BUT MS!!!! sorry for the yelling, but boy do I feel better!
