The ``Making the world'' tutorial talks about this in section 3, but is full of "may"'s and "if"'s and doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence. -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
