I didn't say I was designing anything, I just said it is a factor. I've worked in some embedded projects in which the board had to be rebooted from time to time. In that case we needed/wanted the system to be up and running ASAP. Anyway, being a general purpose OS we can not expect FreeBSD to be installed on systems that almost never boot. That is not a reality IMHO. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
