Yep. But the joke with 386BSD 0.0 was, it also printed this message, and brave as many people have been, one went to the compile directory, and typed ``make depend''. But that was the worst mistake one could do! The only way to get on was to _not_ run make depend... since make constructed an argument list that was way too long, and this consistently hit a kernel panic. (I think argument lists were fixed to one page in 386BSD 0.0.) Compiling the kernel right away without the added dependencies worked fine. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
