Whoah. One second here. It's being removed from 4.4BSD-LITE??? AFAIK, 4.4BSD_Lite source code is a complete packages distributed by UCB CSRG just before it was disbanded, and it contains all the source from 4.4BSD, with the AT&T stuff taken out. It's a finished package which is unmaintained; or, if it IS maintained, it's maintained by CSRG. Does Walnut Creek CD-ROM have permission from UCB to distribue their 4.4BSD-Lite package with parts removed? Or am I just being stupid? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
