To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 23 Feb 1995 01:20:45 -0500 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1167 Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, As some of you may have seen back in the 1.1 days, I had a kernel configuration file generator. I've now rewritten this for 2.0 using curseperl for a snazzy interface. I will be shortly writting a make file to allow a user to generate curse perl with our standard perl sources (not hard). Question: Do I have to FTP my program even though its fairly small (call it 100k) for a package? Or can we stick in contrib again? It is a Berkeley style copyright. Question: If so, can we find a place for it (My link can get flaky...) I'll be genning a new version for 2.1 once we have settled on the devices and how the config file will look. What it does: Give the user menus for each sub-section Write a legal config file for the options selected (It does do some checking (e.g. puts in ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR if you pick the PS/2 mouse driver)) What it does not do: Most of the esoteric options and such are NOT covered (e.g. XNS and PORTAL). If need those, then you know how to generate a config file manually. Does anyone think this is a good idea??? Gary P.S: This is another project that is due to my distribution with my POS software.
