Arbeitsphysiologie a.d. Uni Dortmund Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2jd12b$avc@ifado.arb-phys.uni-dortmund.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: ifado.arb-phys.uni-dortmund.de What is the current state of the different flavors of *bsd concerning YP? I switched to NetBSD, because this was the only, which contained this, but I am not very happy with this decision, as NetBSD-current does not support SCSI devices, which are offline at boot time, and no codrv. And I am not happy with the reordering done to the gnu tree, because it makes it more difficult to be actual in GCC. At least, I to get the stuff twice (from GNU AND NetBSD). Please correct me, if I am wrong. Is it possible and advisable to switch back to FreeBSD? wbk -- Dipl.-Math.
