I of course like source too, but this rather destroys the force of that argument: On FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE: man nve then go use find on /usr/src. it's a BLOB < Linux & MS compat PS there's source coming in from elsewhere now for man nfe in 7-current & patches for stable & 6.2 Summary: binary only doesnt seem to have precluded FreeBSD in case of nve, though again, yes we all prefer source avail. too :-) -- Julian Stacey.
