I'd second Bdale's comment. More importantly, why comp.os.386bsd, why not comp.os.bsd.386, or to avoid the confusion with BSDI's product, comp.os.bsd.386bsd. Why do I say this, other than to burn inodes? Well, what about comp.os.bsd.sparc and comp.os.bsd.mips? I hope that there will eventually be free BSD based systems for more than just intel x86 based architectures. Heck, there are already. David -- bremner@cs.sfu.ca ubc-cs!fornax!bremner
