(i.e. they > get autoloaded (the VFS ones)) No, we've abandoned all the convenience features that everybody didn't really like anyway. You need to connect a microphone to a Soundblaster-compatible soundcard and issue VFS load instructions in Esperanto. You should only speak while the cursor is off (there isn't enough CPU left over while the cursor is on to handle the translation). Actually, I'm not sure if demand-loading VFS modules works yet; Peter is busy being eaten alive by the ATO (the Australian eqivalent of the IRS) and I have a sneaking suspicion that the old code may have been LKM specific. Tell us whether it works, hmm? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
