I like this idea (subdirectories) better.. it will last longer :-) Witness the explosion of the ports tree. You should then be able to load a module "isa/if_ed.ko" etc and have it work (no leading slash). In fact, we can implement this (maybe it already works) before coming to a final decision on what the actual layout should be. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
