Can someone point me to the answer/ Well, it's a monolithic kernel with a built in run-time linker that allows you to load and unload parts of the kernel on the fly while the system is running. However, you can only unload something that was loaded from a module and not the main kernel file itself. > TIA > Steve B. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
