Is that what you're flaming about? Who gives a good god damn? I'd be perfectly happy to be able to be able to freely redistribute everything in net2 or 4.4 BSD-lite but that - the stuff that's in those directories is in most cases trivial and in many cases simply useless. I don't care whether it's similar to equivalent AT&T code - I can't use it anyway on my machine! Give me a break! When I needed to get a pre-alpha version of 4.4BSD to boot diskless, I wrote my own code to handle booting anyway, and it works damned nicely, thank you. _MelloN_ -- mellon@ncd.com uunet!lupine!mellon Member of the League for Programming Freedom.
