Problem is, that I am working full-time, and don't feel comfortable taking work on-the-side, since they are being very generous allowing me to work on FreeBSD during working hours also. My part-time 'job' is FreeBSD itself, and there is more than enough infrastructure work to keep me busy. (Wish there was $$$ though :-)). If LFS was to ever work again, it needs significant recoding and restructuring to make it more VM friendly. The ODS definitely needs work also. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
