So that I can blow away /usr/src and not lose my custom picoBSD config. Mainly, I just want to make sure that your makefiles will work with custom being a symlink (as the system does now). When the new interface was first put in, it assumed that custom was a hard link and not a soft link, and I'm just trying to avoid that. >>> - I've added support for a second floppy disk which can be read to the >>> MFS in at boot time. >> >> I think the new GUI interface already supports this.

Woops, I think it was on the wishlist for the new build scripts and I thought I had seen it earlier, but I don't see any type of support for that now. > Greg -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
