One day I decided to copy my / partition onto a different drive. Amazingly enough, cp worked and everything seemed to function okay after rebooting. I also did a "make world" to fix any problems this may have created for me. There is no real problem except for the files in my /stand directory are huge. A ls -l in /stand gives results like this: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chmod -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chown -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 cksum And a du /stand gives this: 204 /stand/help 13 /stand/etc 2 /stand/info/proflibs 5 /stand/info/des 2 /stand/info/games 2 /stand/info/manpages 3 /stand/info/bin 2 /stand/info/dict 2 /stand/info/info 18 /stand/info/src 37 /stand/info 43884 /stand This isn't a real problem, but I sure could use those extra 40 megs it has claimed. What I was woundering was, what would happen if I were just to delete those files in /stand? Or, could I delete them and then link then back to the appropriate files with ln? I guess, I really just do not know what signifiance these files in /stand have, and wanted to make sure I don't try to do anything which could bring my system down. Thanks! Jim Riffle
