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. > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
