Having it as a loadable module that is essentially private to PC-BSD (though open source, of course) will lead to questions of why Wine works in PC-BSD and not FreeBSD. That's fine if your intention is to create a fork of FreeBSD, but I don't know if that's what you really want. Scott Kris Moore wrote: > The thought of a KLD hadn't occured to me actually. We are very close to releasing 1.4RC1 though, so it may be a bit to close to work that out at the moment. Tijl would probably be the one to ask about that though, since he's the one making all this come together :) > > However we will ship with the sys source on our disk 2, patch included.
