You would like to know if all the tools which are close to the hardware work properly. Or you would like to know if the machine can boot. All this issues aren't addressed by tinderbox. Indeed you could have suites with tests for tools as the c compiler, awk and so on and so on. But if are interested in seeting up such a beast (tinderbox) for freebsd then drop me a line. I would like to take part in this. Bye Oliver Mike Hoskins wrote: > Is the 'proper' way to test a given machine to simply cvsup and build a > world as usual... Then observe results.
