We do - but that doesn't mean we have to port glibc to get it, or that we need to have it *right now* - we just need to have it before we're done, and something that *works* right now. By my preference, something that can be made to work to all of our requirements later, without a major rewrite. I think this could be accomplished by porting init, rather than glibc, is the point, and that the initial port could well be done as a partially functional, but useable and extensible setup. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lightbearer.com/~lucifer
