Whenever I boot into FreeBSD, I get an e-mail  message to me, from me
(NV stuff...):

--------------------------------------------------

X-vi-recover-file: /root/.steprc
X-vi-recover-path: /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.000317
Reply-To: root
From: root (Nvi recovery program)
To: root
Subject: Nvi saved the file .steprc
Precedence: bulk

On Wed Mar 18 01:41:34 1998, the user root was editing a
file named /root/.steprc on the machine
manning.HIP.Berkeley.EDU, when it was saved for recovery.
You can recover most, if not all, of the changes to this
file using the -r option to vi:

        vi -r /root/.steprc

----------------------------------------------------------
It gets really anoying. Is there any way to stop it sending this?
syslogd is off, in /etc/rc.conf

Thanks.

P.S. I have an AMD processor. In /etc/rc.conf right below syslogd,
there's this amd_enable option. Should I use it?

Also, I deleted all the files in the /usr/src directory to make room (of
which I have verry little). But now, I can't recompile my Kernel! For
that matter, I can't even FIND the source for my kernel! Am I up S**t's
creek? Can I re download JUST the sources? I think I lost track of where
my kernel was. I'm somewhat new at this.

thanks:)
