Well, but then you've been missing the most funny piece: 386BSD 0.0! Not only that it didn't know anything about FDISK partitions (why should it? after all, it was just BSD, used to occupy an entire disk all the time...), but following the advise ``Don't forget to run make depend.'' after config'ing a new kernel was fatal. :-O It reproducibly caused a page fault, since some string space in the execve code was too small to handle the long argument list. Despite of panicking all over the place, i've been impressed about the stability of the file system however. I've never lost a single file (unlike with some SysV i've been using previously). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
