I'm new to FreeBSD (come from the *gasp* System V and RTU world) so I hope this is the correct list for this. ( I'm sure I will be told if it's not :-} ) Is there ANY penalty for having a device in your config file that is not in your system?? I am inheriting a 40 machine laboratory. My predecessor decided to go to a single config/kernel for all machines I'm sure for administrative convenience. I'm trying to determine if there is any major penalty for using this single "source" for all machines. Since we are doing significant hacks on FreeBSD to support proprietary FAA protocols and equipment obsolete to the rest of the world, I want to have as clean a kernel as possible to start from. BTW, after 2 weeks, I LOVE this OS! Mike Smith mlsmith@mitre.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
