I don't care enough about this to argue about it (for long :-). Don't interpret my objections as an implied "over my dead body" kinda thing. I just want to point out that /usr/mdec has worked quite well for *years*, it's a known quantity, and that *I* believe that taking up precious root disk space by shoving unneeded stuff in /boot (which is critical to system bootup) is going in exactly the wrong direction and gains so little (or no) benefit. Yes, "mdec" is a wierd name. So is "/etc/rc", "creat(2)", "dd", "pax", "vi", etc etc. Incidently, my objections are about putting it in /, not so much changing the name. > - Jordan Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
