Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG So, I repeat: easily done, not acceptable to freebsd core. I think this situation reflects on the freebsd community and not in a positive way. If you care, sometime this year you'll be able to buy motherboards that boot Linux from flash. SiS is working hard on this and has committed people and hardware. So if you want that capability, you'll get it with Linux, not FreeBSD. Not because it's not doable, it's because people don't seem to get it. It's kind of a shame. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
