It does pulls in every thing that is known to work, and a lot of things that don't! ---------------------------- As the author of LINT I have to disagree. LINT was functional I have booted it on several occasions during the early years. It's original intent was to be as functional as possible, and to be a bootable and runable kernel for the purpose of doing regression testing. Big plans that never saw the light of day :-( I think this log entry reflects the last time it was probably ever booted by me: ---------------------------- revision 1.10 date: 1993/09/26 23:21:12; author: rgrimes; state: Exp; lines: +3 -2 Added at 0xFE100000 to config line as this kernel HAS to load high, and it is the place people seem to look for samples. Also since this kernel has so so many symbols in it also added SYMTAB_SPACE=89000. ---------------------------- Some time after that it became purely a compile test tool since the changes to the system where happening so fast it became impossible to try and fix things to keep it booting. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
