I just started reading this group, so forgive me if this has been explained
ad infinitum... but...

What's with the include files in 0322-SNAP? The set with the source
tree is mostly correct, but missing the "static" keyword in ttydefaults.c
for ttydefchars, which causes a compile problem.

Is the idea just to copy (with this exception) all of /usr/src/sys/include
and include/sys to usr include? Or what is the correct thing to do?

I also am having the problem with loadable kernel modules. The kernel
that came with the binary distribution works OK with lkm stuff, but the
new kernel does not. The original was 2.0, the newly compiled is 2.1, I
noticed.

There is also something about matcd. It causes the 2.0 kernel to
have problems at boot time, and you *can't* disable it with -c. The
disable command fails on matcd. I notice that matcd doesn't exist in
the 2.1 sources. Is this coming back? I have one of the "Reveal" CD-ROMS
from Egghead , which should be similar, and I'd like to see if I can munge
a driver to talk to it...

I'd also like to work on a driver for ham radio packet radio stuff, but
I'm not sure whether the 0322-SNAP is a good version to use as a starting
point. It appears that 0412-SNAP is *not* where to start..?

Hope all this hasn't been covered before..

Thanks,

Jim Durham
