It seems to be I'm sure that Kirk has a good reason for leaving the current "modified BSD license" in place for soft updates and when whatever timer he has on that runs out and allows us to configure it in by default, meaning that I have only to add an option to GENERIC while building the boot floppies, then I'll do it. I still don't see what the fuss is about in any case since soft updates would be SLOWER than the async mode I use during installation and anyone who's actually bothered to benchmark extraction of files with the two systems knows this. Have you ever timed it? If not, why not? That seems the minimum amount of work one would be expected to put in before arguing passionately on any topic. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
