Modified files:
sys/modules/linux Makefile
Removed files:
sys/modules/linux linux.8 linux.sh
Log:
Retire linux(8). Using shell scripts to load kernel loadable modules is
out of fashion. This particular case, unlike joy(8) and friends which
are just plain silly, did more than just load a kernel loadable module.
However, /etc/rc and the linux_base port were adjusted a while back to
cope with the absence of this script.
The only outstanding reason to hang on to it would have been for the
linux(8) manual page, which clued folks into the existence of the
Linuxulator. A new linux(4) was introduced a while back. It does
a much better job.
This script just isn't useful any more.
