Right now "compat" automatically implies aout since all existing "compat" distributions are pre-3.0. When FreeBSD 3.2 rolls around we will likely have both elf *and* aout compat distributions. For the moment it looks odd having /.../lib/compat empty save an aout directory, but in time it will fill. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
