But kirk HAS to make a living like the rest of us and he needs to to get the commericla players to pay for his time and effort. And there is nothing wrong with that. But as stated I believe he has always intended to make it licensed under a BSD-L but has to recoup his time and effort first. So I think this is a non issue. > Is jornaling only solution to removal of fsck at boot time? Again I *think* another of kirk's long term goals is to make softupdates FSCK'less. And just get rid of fsck all together. But Im not certain about this one. Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong. Having said that a Journaled FS would be cool. Just another feature we have to sell. And under a BSD license. There are only a few things I think BSD could use personally. Threads, better SMP, NFS that is less sucky but matt has done a GREAT job fixing it up so far, and way off on a tangent in another universe, a BSD-L compiler instead of gcc. But thats living in lala land. Chris -- "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like most of us have.
