Not unless you want to get deep into the kernel guts. =3D) Once we hit a reliable single user things start to get more interesting. That's when userland work's needed. At the moment though it's all kernel. Later on it'll be good to have people test the stuff on hardware I don't have, or for them to make that hardware available to me in some form so I can make sure it runs on there. For the moment though what I need is more time to work on this. =3D/ --=20 Benno Rice benno@jeamland.net --=-xUTWuHUEWyCZ4VqNBgv/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEABECAAYFAjyXGEAACgkQXjRwWofFmQlrmwCfVk4WQp/GfsAEDIHm8ucEcNKJ zIQAn1dMOWGnWWDImy5sv3mdtUxQJd0i =nECI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-xUTWuHUEWyCZ4VqNBgv/-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
