I guess a virtual machine is the "App that no-one could put their finger on" that really could do with buffered (caching) devices. of course this is w98. FreeBSD 1.1.5 and freebsd 3.3 seem run as well but I've only run them off virtual disks (which therefore have buffering) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
