This really shouldn't be the case. If you ask novice questions on comp.os.386bsd.development then you asked for it, though personally I'd never flame anyone for asking a simple question (I have to ask too many myself :-)) However, comp.os.386bsd.questions should be exactly that sort of forum. If we're not going to spend a little time answering newbie questions and yes I know we're all busy doing the work that keeps us alive, then 386bsd is never going to gain ground amongst the broader user base. One of the things that does worry me is the total lack of traffic in the 386bsd groups, while I know that there are people out there working on things it seems that there isn't much of a base actually using the stuff we develop. -- Paul Richards, University of Wales, College Cardiff Internet: paul@isl.cf.ac.uk spedpr@thor.cf.ac.uk
