I don't think you can call me reluctant on this :-( The trouble is that somebody once told Jordan that if it didn't have "persistence" it was a no-go, and despite the lack of intelligence behind this position, -core seems bound by it. I belive that persistence in DEVFS is a BAD thing, but I'm appearantly pretty alone on -core with this view... -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
