Ahh. I knew about that fact, but was more concerned with df reporting the size
of the filesystems incorrectly. In addition, doing a du -k /var reveals that
it has hardly anything in it at all.
I get similar results for /usr. The size of /usr is 100MB, and only 87MB are
used. In /var, only 13MB are used. (Out of 32MB).
I only installed the base and etc sets at this point, so /var remains farily
unpopulated.
Any clues?
