Thanks guys you helped tremendously. There's no reason not to use it
now. We'll get that penquin yet. That's my only complaint really ...the
slow filesystem but again data security is more
enticing. So from what I read softupdates on /tmp will also speed things
up quite a bit and / is not really necassary. Problem is my
/tmp is on / so in the future it may be wise to make a /tmp directory.
How about linking /tmp to /usr or /var for my current setup?
