Don't use root all the time. You can get rid of this message by either
taking '.' out of root's path (editing the .cshrc or .login--I forget
which it's in) or rebuilding the csh sources. A '.' in the path means
that you can execute files in the current directory w/o explicitly
referencing them. A user could, say, make an ls program or something
that would give them root access if root ran the command.

Don't know about these. You have the source, though... ;-)

It was compiled w/o X11 support.

Are they links to each other (I don't use emacs ;-)

It's there. In a Un*x system, you don't want to run right at disk
capacity--the filesystem can be more efficient with about 10% of the
disk free. The ufs filesystem enforces that by keeping a certain
percentage of the disk reserved for root. You can adjust that
amount with tunefs or with newfs when you make a new filesystem.
