By the way, GNU LIBC was ported to NetBSD last November/December. See: http://www.geocities.com/velcok/netbsd-gnu.html (That was in addition to the porting done by Debian/BSD projects.) glibc is not part of the official NetBSD pkgsrc though (but regular glibc is part of my pkgsrc which I use for Linux). > It's time for the BSDs to become TRULY free -- of Stallman's agenda and > of the noxious provisions of the GPL -- by eliminating all GPLed code. It is happening. By the way, using old (but official) Tendra, I have built parts of FreeBSD userland. The new Tendra (development version) has been continually improved; I need to use it to try to buildworld. Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/home | help
