Snapshotting vms are cheaper now :-) Also the vkernel is also interesting. "The idea behind the development of the vkernel architecture was to find an elegant solution to debugging of the kernel and its components. It eases debugging, as it allows for a virtual kernel being loaded in userland and hence debug it without affecting the real kernel itself. By being able to load it on a running system it also removes the need for reboots between kernel compiles. The vkernel architecture allows for running DragonFly kernels in userland.

It is one of the many tools available to manage pkgsrc listed here :-) http://pkgsrc.se/pkgtools thanks --Siju _______________________________________________ bsd-india mailing list [email protected] http://www.bsd-india.org/mailman/listinfo/bsd-india
