From what I've heard, the bits missing will be the customized vendor fscks (as they require vendor source that IBM can't give away) and tsm (an AIX subsystem that I know nothing about). Also, I'm told that xdr will be in a separate distribution due to licensing issues. The vendor fscks and the AIX stuff are irrelevant to a FreeBSD system, and if xdr is still available, then things are fine. --nat -- nat lanza --------------------- research programmer, parallel data lab, cmu scs magus@cs.cmu.edu -------------------------------- http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~magus/ there are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths -- alfred north whitehead To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
