That's what I thought, I just wasn't sure. It was my impression however that UNIX wasn't supposed to be that simple. It was supposed to be more stable. besides, unless the people know what they are doing when they look at the configurator program (similar to some Linux dists) they may be even more confused, and it's not that hard to make a custom kernel in the first place. I personally don't think we need a kernel configurator. Kenneth Culver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
