Assuming the above is correct, then why the hell doesn't he (Bill Jolitz, or she,
Lynne Jolitz) make an end to all the rumour? This 'you have an opinion differing
from mine, so I won't talk to you any longer' is getting a bit childish
and silly now *), don't you think, Bill?
If you don't want to speak up in this forum (after all these newsgroups
were created as a forum for '386bsd' in particular!), send me personal
email, if you are still interested in any support from me. If I send in some
code to you, I would expect at least the status of that work now when there
is a collection on some CDROM available (and I guess, numerous contributors
think the same). Noone expects a detailed report on every code line integrated
(although it would allow comparisons with the efforts done in the NetBSD and
FreeBSD spin-offs), but something like the READMEs for 386bsd-0.1 is certainly
more useful than the ad blurb from JM.
I would be willing to pay the $100 for the CD if I see a progress from 0.1,
but currently the almost unlabelled snapshot CDs for FreeBSD and NetBSD from
Infomagic are more informative.
*) and I mean all parties involved!
My mail channel is open for the next two weeks.
