I just found it interesting that some 'group' would try to make a package system that will work on sooo many differing OS's. Even the three BSD's have differing package systems, though there appears to be work going on to bring two of them together. It's been awhile since I read anything about that, so I don't know if that's even still in progress. Seems like a daunting task to me. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
