There is 3.0 MBs of stuff in /usr/shlib. Theses are all libraries: libNeXT_s.C.shlib* libmusic_s.A.shlib* libsys_s.B.shlib* libdsp_s.A.shlib* libni_s.A.shlib* Question is do I need these for day to day work. This would be using all the application programs and sometimes installing stuff and doing a "make" etc. What are these libraries used for ? I'd love to make some extra space. Rakhal.

Those are the shared libraries used by the various apps, and if you get rid of any of these files, chances are some apps (not only NeXT but also third party apps) will stop running.
