I did find a version of Linux that has a real-time kernel and that runs Linux as a process. I was wondering if anyone had done a similar thing with FreeBSD or had modified the FreeBSD kernel to do preemptive multitasking. The FreeBSD-small just seems to be trying to make the kernel as small as possible. Thanks! Caleb ---------- From: Greg Lehey[SMTP:grog@lemis.com] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 1998 6:34 PM To: Caleb R.
