I asked a similar question a few months ago in this list; there were a number of positive responses. If you search the archives for "LFS" you should find them. Perhaps now is the time to begin discussion/planning of a porting effort, so that work can begin in earnest in the new year. I'm inclined to do more than a simple port. The LFS code has a lot of entropy in it, as well as some design/implementation decisions that make it difficult to modify the code in the direction my research will go. I'm in favor of a redesign/refactoring, with portability and modifiability among the primary goals. Is anyone out there willing to set up a mailing list for a FreeBSD LFS effort? --Dwight Tuinstra tuinstra@clarkson.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
