FWIW - I've been arguing this point since 1.X, so there are *some* things that Terry and I agree on. :) > Why? Does it still have machine-dependencies in it? Uh, no, but it changes with the kernel, so it's dependant upon a particular version of the kernel. > I highly recommend the much more machine-independent 'config' that > NetBSD is now using. Or at least something similar. The 'config' is NetBSD isn't necessarily any more 'machine independant' than the config in FreeBSD, it's just different. Nate
