Howard) Subject: How much diskspace needed for patch? Message-ID: <PHoward-170393095441@macabre.stmarys.ca> Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.questions Sender: usenet@nstn.ns.ca (NNTP Entity) Organization: Saint Mary's University, Halifax NS Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1993 14:01:12 GMT Lines: 24 I guess that I have about 80Mb free on my 200Mb drive after loading Bin01, Etc01 and Src01... and a few additional applications. Is that enough to install the official patch? I have also made a couple of alterations and I understand that the patch is only 'guaranteed' to work with a virgin system, what kind of problems should I look for? Changes include directory changes to get cron to work and to create a necessary obj directory link for the man pages (I think). Finally, is it worth the trouble? We have some practical reasons for running 386bsd and so far things seem to work well enough to test our applications. Thanks in advance for any advice. Philip ---------------- Philip M.
