SRM is much more full featured and provides information to the OS that it needs. MILO puts back some of the `missing' information in ARC (which is why it's machine-specific). -- -- Todd Vierling (Personal tv@pobox.com; Bus. todd_vierling@xn.xerox.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
