You are free to provide a miniperl and I'll use that. :-) I am trying to accomplish something specific -- compile a working kernel self-hosted. I have had to go off into the woods a few times, and I don't want to keep going off there getting farther from my goal. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
