Where can I read how to turn the snapshots on? (Actually, I once read fossil(4) and had the feeling that these simply do happen and once there is no space some of them are moved to venti or deleted if there is no venti. With this on mind I then decided not to use venti during installation. Now I see the snapshots have to be turned on...) Thanks anyway Ruda
