Software: FreeBSD 2.0R (the CD has January 1994 printed on it :-) CDROM from Walnut creek. Installed a shadow directory tree of the /cdrom/filesys/usr/src tree with the cd-link utility from the cdrom (Directory tree with soft links to files on the CDROM). Have patched this tree up to FreeBSD 2.0-950210-SNAP. All this to save disk space. Problem: Make world does not install the files, but rather the links into /usr/share/FAQ, and /usr/share/examples/lkm and probably some more places. Got som errors during install into /usr/share/examples/lkm (Sorry, did not save them). I would like the contents of the files to be copied during installation rather than the soft link. Another suggestion would be that the source tree part of the SNAP was in some form of patch format. This would enable some of us to have the source tree installed, do our own hacking, and have a current version without having a lot of disk space allocated for the source. OK, ok, if I want it then why don't I write it myself... Thanks for a great job! I really enjoy my CDROM now! /Kent Kent Palmkvist Internet: kentp@isy.liu.se Dept. of Electrical Engineering http://allvis.isy.liu.se Linköping University 58183 LINKÖPING phone: +4613281347 Sweden fax: +4613139282
