Asking for code submissions is *exactly* the right thing to do. The progress made in each release is tremendous. I've watched my laptop go from nonfunctional (no disks found) to almost fully supported. If nobody is going back and supporting end-of-life hardware, then tough cookies. The willingness to take in code submissions is almost surprising, really. Surely no person has any right to *gripe*! -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
