[ ... several useful points deleted, but you remember, right? ... ] Hate to sound like the 60's, but "Right On, Man!". I would hate to see us with dozens of Kernel disks (like Linux), but I like the config file idea. It would allow a simple SB16 setup without including another kernel or explaining LINT v.s. GENERIC and vi operations to some of my friends. Linux kernel config menu is nice, though. The crypto-sigs on the ROM would be better than TripWire sigs on a floppy for the standard executables. For packages, would you have a list w/the pkg and a sig for the lists? Thanks! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
