I've been dealing I can say for sure that it works in my environment. It is inevitable that I have some undocumented assumptions. If you have the spare cycles to work with me, I'll do what I can, time permitting, to make it work in yours. > with another (unrelated) FreeBSD annoyance, as well, and it's getting to > me. I'm just generally irritated today, don't take it too personally. :) I understand. I've dropped it several times in the past when things simply required too much handholding to get working. From my experience, *all* operating systems are perpetually in beta. I've gotten a commitment from O'Brien to help me with getting the port into FreeBSD's CVS. However, with the zillions of ports that he maintains, I don't know how much time he is going to have - so it might take a while. > > I'm going to try and build FreeBSD against xen-2.0-testing.bk. > > If that works, will this prohibit it from playing nice with Xen 2.0.2? Well, I'd like to see it work with all three trees (xen-2.0.bk, xen-2.0-testing.bk, and xeno-unstable.bk). 2.0-testing just seems like a good place to start. -Kip ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
