If you want to So you've got to have a(ccess to) commit bit to commit a bit. Makes sense to me . But, suppose you've bitten off a wee bit too much. Taken a bigger byte, so to speak. The question then surely becomes how many bitted committers one needs to have ones byte bitten a bit bit committed? Well... it is a question and about FreeBSD to boot! Roelof PS that reminds me. How does one become a bit committer (not that I'm solliciting mind :). Is it really true that one must bow ones knees and swear to uphoald the spirit of free source, fight the evil pests (or bugs as some dialects would have it), not to mention slay dragons and rescue damsels in (dist|und)ress when the opportunity arises before one receives the blow (or tap depending on build) on the shoulder and becomes bitted. PS okay, true, I'm ripe to be a bit committed ;) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- eBOAź est. 1982 tel. +31-58-2123014 web. http://eBOA.com/ fax. +31-58-2160293 mail info@eBOA.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
