Hi,

After last few days, the FreeBSD-current source tree is a very shaky
ground, and many, many things are still changing each hour... Many
exciting new features were added, but some of them needed massive changes
in various parts of the system, so it's natural that some other parts
stopped working. :-)

I want to warn you that:

* as it is now, picobsd doesn't build at all due to unexpected removal of
the SLICE code - some people say that DEVFS is enough, but I'll have to
check it myself...

* you should wait at least a few days (a week?) and allow the things to
settle. There is no sense in trying to keep up with so rapidly changing
situation. I know I myself am going to wait with any changes to
src/release/picobsd... Last known good sources are from ca. 12.09.1998.

* my first attempts to build an ELF crunch showed that it's somewhat
bigger uncompressed (by ca. 10kB), but smaller when gzipped (by ca. 40kB),
which is a good thing.
