Thank David O'Brien too. David did the bulk of integrating my linux/alpha patches shortly before 4.2-RELEASE. I was sick as a dog with a stomach flu for a few critical days, and if it wasn't for David, it probably still wouldn't be done.. Hmm. And let's not forget Marcel, who did the MI split and then still put up with is slapping ifdef __alpha__'s into his linulator ;) Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
