I may reply with another link: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html > This would seem to make compiling from source difficult. It won't need much time until hackers find a way to find a way around booting restrictions. Maybe this is an additional step needed to make non-"Windows" boot on then-current hardware. A free market won't allow a situation come up that requires the competitor to obtain a "permission" by its concurrent to make his product work. It would also show a "security feature" being an aspect of "defective by design" regarding computer hardware and its manufacturers. Compiling from source? You don't even get that far! :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
