Hi,

  I am looking at the recent netkit beta release to upgrade my Netkit4TIC 
live-cd.

You are speaking of host filesystem or guest filesystem ?

In guest filesystem "netkit-fs-F2.0-Beta" there are both:

vm # du -ch /lib/tls*
2.0M    /lib/tls             # 1,986,262 bytes
2.0M    /lib/tls-dont_use    # 2,022,541 bytes
4.0M    total

is this correct?
