That would be pretty cool, why don't you use the gnats: http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html or just "send-pr" to submit your changes? One idea would be to fail gracefully, when unable to read kvm and such and keep the -j flag idea you had. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
