From: Phillip Salzman <psalzman@gamefish.pcola.gulf.net> To: Leif Neland <leifn@swimsuit.internet.dk> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: kern/8619: EXT2FS should be in GENERIC kernel Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 04:26:13 +0000 (GMT) The reason it is not in the installation/boot diskette is because of size.
