It's pretty straightforward, it's just that there are a lot of things to do, and the short deadline means I'll have to handle pc98 and src/UPDATING myself rather than rely on Kato and Warner to do it themselves. It'll take me an hour or two to go through every file that needs to be changed, and two or three hours more to test things and fix loose ends. The alternative is to just update GENERIC, LINT et al to use ppbus instead of the old lpt driver, and throw in a warning in the probe messages in src/sys/i386/lpt.c telling people to move to ppbus. It should be pretty safe. DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
