We've been over that ground as well. The contents file is currently a documented part of the system (see contents(4)), and, more importantly, there are applications that have come to depend on it. Without that, yes, you can break up the file, as long as you figure out some reasonable way to handle shared components (such as directories). As Dave said, there are likely other things that need to be addressed. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
