The major bit of this would be either the hopefully soon mature kld, or alternatively a hack to config so that you could add sys/i386/conf/files.d/files.foo sys/i386/conf/options.d/options.foo for some stuff named "foo", so that it would not involve editing system files. I agree that it is needed, and has been for a long time. Somebody working out something would be a great development. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
