Fine, but then I want to have a column x86, a column alpha, a column foo so that one can deduct whether it was tested and works on that particular platform. This then for expansion boards. And I don't support the idea for *machines* like we have on alpha. For PC junk^Whardware a generic file might work. For alpha it does not. -- | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands email: wilko@freebsd.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte http://www.freebsd.org http://www.nlfug.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
