/bin/sh has a really rediculous (had?) warning in it.  I think it may be 
gone in -current now...

The is an emacs installation nit.  I don't think it's really two copies, 
but rather a link (hard link) that would look like this (if it were 
symbolic...)
	emacs -> emacs-19.28
This is so you can have multiple versions of emacs around, and run 
whichever by default upon typing emacs.  A stock gcc install from the FSF 
does the same thing...

UFS keeps ~10% ``slack space'' around - only root can fill this up...The 
more slack space there is, the faster the filesystem - I think this slack 
space is used as ``temp'' space when the filesystem does block 
allocation, but I'm not too familiar with all the gory details...You can 
use tunefs(8) to change most of the filesystem parameters.
