All I know is that some of the FreeBSD developers had put off some of our enhancements, while waiting for the "new" 386bsd. Finally, we gave up and started working on it. We *really* did want to get the "new" 386bsd, and kept getting disappointed. My life the last 6 months would have been a lot easier if the supposed "new" 386bsd came out when it was alluded to be "just a few weeks away". John dyson@implode.root.com
