I killed -hackers, again. Sorry David. On Sat, 20 Oct 2001, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > Not really. One more list to follow, when threads in existing lists > will probably be enough for this.

This should live in -arch as most of the discussion is going to be non-technical (do we want it like NetBSD or FreeBSD boot order?). Another list is not what we need. Now that we have resolved some of the administrivia, I'm going to take the weekend off, go camping, and get back to hacking /etc/rc.d/. I already have a whopping 4 scripts ported over. Only 51+ to go =) There are already a couple of issues I've seen that will cause some incompatabilities: 1) Swap controls. NetBSD does something totally different (and better) that FreeBSD. 2) fsck. There's a nice fsck patch that handles gracefully running fsck -p on a read-write fs. Can someone check it out? basesrc/sbin/fsck/fsck.c (revision 1.26). I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm not much for hacking C. 3) nfsd and mountd live in /sbin when they belong in /usr/sbin. Please see pr bin/30972 That's it for the moment, but I'm sure there will be more. Have a great weekend! -gordon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
