Re: cleaning /usr/obj before copying it to USB key

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX before you do buildworld and installworld, so that those are not using /usr/obj at all. This is a little trickier to do right, and you'll regret it if you do not set the variable in all the situations that you want to. But it might be another option for you. -- Garance Alistair

Re: Is it possible to have file removed upon process exit?

of a kludge. And the files won't disappear immediately when the process exits. This may not be a great solution, but it might at least give you some ideas of other ways to approach the problem. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= g...@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer

Re: proposed change to style(9): require yoda style if statements

Re: Small change to 'ps'

keyword to '-o', since it already uses words as its acceptable values. We'd be bending the definition of `-o' a bit to do that, but we could at least do that in a way which would be very unlikely to conflict with an option in any other version of `ps'. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn
