Quite a bunch. You should really try Free/Net/OpenBSD, they are basically just that: 4.4BSD-Lite(2) plus the missing pieces. That's man years of work. (Simply install a *BSD tree on your system, and run a diff against the 4.4BSD-Lite stuff, i think it will be several 100K lines of added functionality, bugfixes etc.) -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
