[This thread started by somebody asking how to free space on a PS/2]

This is great.  Two IBM'ers commenting each others articles, it gets amusing,
as also noted by in article <1990Oct24.040918.14410@panews> by jsalter@slo.UUCP

|This is great!  I don't think I've ever seen this many IBMer's on the

Sure, no sarcasm, no criticism - we actually like to see you around.

|Another thing you can do is tar up and remove /usr/man.

I though of that as a nice idea, provided that you did install the man pages
in the first place of course, but read on:

Wow - this means that info is now available for the PS/2 AIX 1.2 as well -
or is it that Jim Salter (whos answers are normally quite helpful) didn't note
that this was for the PS/2.  Jim continues

|And, no, the ODM does not contain apar-fixes information as well :-).

Since when did the PS/2 have an ODM?  (I wish it had)

As a closing remark (completely out of context), it would be so, _so_, _SO_
nice if IBM had an internet nameserver located @ibm.com, using MX records or
whatever, so that we could simply mail you person@somewhere.ibm.com.  Since
you are so much into the Unix business with the RISC System/6000 you should
really get this set up as well.  It would also make my signature shorter :-)

Thanks for reading this far,
