The proliferation of KLD's is also good news. But essentially now we're building everything twice.. which brings up a couple of questions.. 1. Should we be only building everything once, and then construct "kernel" by linking together what are essentially "pre-loaded" KLD's? 2. What is the status of the concept of a single "kernel" that demand-loads KLD's during device probe, etc.? How far is it between here and there? Nothing new here, just curious what other people's current thoughts and/or expectations are. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
