There is still more work which needs to be done on the ordering and TOC for what's installed. Your own changes were overly simplistic and had other problems of their own. I'll be further refining this over the next couple of days - I just took "kickme" to 4.0 with it and only one failure (to reboot, which was comparatively minor). This is and harder problem to solve than you seem to give it credit for, and I'd also appreciate it if you'd start sending me diffs rather than commentaries. Don't tell me what you THINK it does or should do, show me changes which have been empirically proven to do it better. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
