Yes, I agree entirely. I have made 3 file systems under SCO Unix V3.2.1:

/		    : Disk space:  93.40 MB of 244.14 MB available (38.26%).
/usr/spool/news     : Disk space:  76.35 MB of 146.48 MB available (52.12%).
/local		    : Disk space: 180.29 MB of 199.83 MB available (90.22%).

Total Disk Space: 350.05 MB of 590.45 MB available (59.28%).

/local will contain all PD stuff.
