Here is a list of things I would *love* to see in 386BSD, and would like to
help with any of them - but I don't want to duplicate work:

*	Shared Libraries
	I bought a laptop, and until I get a 200Mb drive (soon) X
	is an impossibilty until shared libs are working. I have
	been playing with dld-3.2.3 and it works on 0.1, but this
	is entirely application level.

*	Seperated SCSI drivers
	Make life easy to add new SCSI controllers, and maybe support
	LUN's etc.

*	Multiport (ala FAS) serial drivers for simple multiport cards

*	FDISK and associated partioning utilities that run from BSD
	not-DOS.

I hope this doesn't sound like too much whinging, as the system is
amazingly stable for version 0.1, and if someone is already working
on any of these then all the better, but I would like to help with
any of the above (and also porting dp - dial up ppp) to 386BSD.

Cheers all,
