The hints compiled in this way, have a "lower priority" associated with them; but they can still get in the way. I really don't like this 'feature' of including hints if the file exists w/o a "hints" include directive. But it seems Peter got bullied into doing things this way. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
