The data for the fortunes seems to be most of the space taken up by the "games" distribution. We should also mention for the original poster's benefit that in 5.x, all of the actual games have been removed from the base system, but fortune(6), primes(6), random(6), and so on are still there (and still referred to as "games", even though they really aren't). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
