I really did not intend to flame anyone, I was just pointing out the problems which were reported often so far but not mentioned in the FreeBSD 2.0 availability notice. And I thought that no one mentioned about SCO binary support. >This work is actually done because we *want* to. Obviously. >And you can't make people do what they don't want to unless you're paying >them. Why did you feel that I ordered them to do this and that ? Was it FreeBSD core team who said that they are willing to hear suggestsion/ comments ? Why do you take such things so personally ? So, you mean that we should just shut the mouth, and if we like what you coded we use it, if we don't like it we just get out of here. Right ? Thank you for letting me know your (FreeBSD core team ?) attitude also. I should be very careful. -- Woody Jin
