I agree with Rod on this one. Perhaps it is time to bring back FLOPPY? A generic kernel should really handle every _basic_ type of device driver we have (e.g. leaving out voxware is ok, pulling out ppp and eg0 devices isn't). From: "Rodney W.

You just broke my 5 station test bed :-(. I use ppp lines and GENERIC kernels in it as all machines go out of here with a serial port in them. [Running ppp at 115k baud is fine for what I need it for and saves me a pile of ethernet cards!]. Though the floppy install stuff may not support ppp, the GENERIC kernel sure should!!! -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
