I installed the currnet "comp.tgz". (Downloaded from
"mac68k/binary/sets/"  ftp site on May 14th. ) Just to make sure, I
installed it again using installer 1.1.

Towards the end of the install, I happened to be watching the console's
output and saw that it did indeed report unpacking "bsd.own.mk" into
/usr/share/mk  as well as a number of other files..

When I booted and went to look, the only thing in that directory was
"sys.mk".  Whereis doesn't find it anywhere on the disk.

I'm downloading comp.tgz again, just to see what's up.

And thanks for the input on window managers.  I imagine to try them
out, one needs to install one, then deinstall and install another
--correct?  I can't install several, and then just select one to be the
active one in a config file somewhere.

thanks
