/bin/sh has a really rediculous (had?) warning in it. I think it may be
gone in -current now...

The is an emacs installation nit. I don't think it's really two copies,
but rather a link (hard link) that would look like this (if it were
symbolic...)
emacs -> emacs-19.28
This is so you can have multiple versions of emacs around, and run
whichever by default upon typing emacs. A stock gcc install from the FSF
does the same thing...

UFS keeps ~10% ``slack space'' around - only root can fill this up...The
more slack space there is, the faster the filesystem - I think this slack
space is used as ``temp'' space when the filesystem does block
allocation, but I'm not too familiar with all the gory details...You can
use tunefs(8) to change most of the filesystem parameters.
