Some people were afraid that it would end up like the Windows registry. Well, even if it did, I'd argue that it still wouldn't be too bad. The Windows registry has so many classes and entries, and I think the kernel config would be smaller with not as many classes. You'd have the device class, and options class. Then, you'd break devices down into scsi, ide, etc. Or, we could break them down into network, disk controllers, sound, that way. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
