This is bad practice. The /boot/modules directory was discussed long time ago and meant to third-party modules as I remember. That's why I haven't discarded it locally. Even if ports have rules to install everything under ports-dir they should install kernel modules into /boot/modules. Otherwise it's a sphagetti to manage. The IMHO thing applies to this message also quite well. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
