Inside is a README file which explains a little about this hack. The subdirectories are: sys mirrors the /usr/src/sys directory containing the diff files. each is named after the file for which the diffs apply with ".diff" appended to the name. syslogd contains diffs for the "syslogd" program. apm contains diffs for the "apm" program. I believe this should be everything, but since I did this a few months ago I can't be completely sure. If you find that some diffs seem to be missing, let me know and I'll supply them. (I have noticed from time to time that the disk spins back up whenever cron runs, but when I started putting debugging into cron in order to find out more about what was going on, it stopped happening! I can sometimes for quite some time, even with cron running, without the disk spinning up and other times it spins up every 5 minutes or so. It's probably a matter of what's been cached lately.) Good luck! Let me know how it goes! /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
