That's what I was expecting too. It is confusing for sure. |

Speaking of tmpfs, I should have re-emerged OOo on tmpfs. It filled up |
| 23 |
/var and died, just a few minutes before it would have finished. Oh |
| 24 |
well, I'll make /var bigger next time. Maybe a couple more Gbs. I put |
| 25 |
that http-replicator on here when I decided to keep my old rig up to |
| 26 |

| 27 |
tho. ^_^ |
