This is an aesthetic violation to FreeBSD's professional image, that is considered to be more important now than ever. There is no aesthetic violation to forget about or pray over. I like to appreciate. And it's easier to appreciate something that is CORRECT. real memory = 100663296 (96 MB) avail memory = 93036544 (88 MB) Looks like it's been written by some Linux geek. Real memory = 100663296 (96 MB) Available memory = 93036544 (88 MB) Doesn't. As you suggested, I compared these with diff, ignoring the gratuitous spacing modification using diff -b. In the end, I don't think I can consider even one of your changes to be an improvement. The closest you came to a useful change was the capitalisation of Real memory, but that's hardly necessary, and the accompanying change to the next line upsets the formatting. Ofcourse it doesn't improve the functionality. And I get the feeling that's what you're all about. In short, I think you should find some other way to pretty up your FreeBSD boot. As suggested earlier, try man splash. Again, I want it to look correct. Time to fork your own project - from the postings I have seen from you on various BSD lists you are going in a direction all your own. -Rick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Adaptec AAC raid support

At least one, and that one will share his feelings with coworkers and friends in the field you can be sure. (perhaps these circles where it is being discusssed is on the fringe, but people in this fringe circle buy or are involved in the purchases for a LOT of hardware. Much like if Cisco fucks up and someone brings note of it to NANOG. Then Cisco jumps. If Adaptec does not jump now, Adaptec is retarded.) Could be getting too late already. People don't forget so easy when they hear that hardware from vendor X doesn't work. Also, those of us who care about free software now associate Adaptec with problems. I have no pity for Adaptec. They have made their own bed. -Rick ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
