- You should not multiply entities unless it is absolutely necessary
- (free translation of William of Occam's well-known statement).
-
- We have considerably high traffic on 'I cannot boot with my configuration', say
- 'newbie' stuff. Since I follow this group quite long, I would have an idea
- where to post such a question, but if I were a beginner and desperate
- because of 386bsd had just cleaned my whole disk, I would perhaps ignore
- the different groups and send my mail to all of them, perhaps to find
- one who can answer.
-
- I haven't seen much on shared libraries yet in this group, so why sharedlib.
- Or did I misunderstand this, because you mean a common library (archive) for
- all who want to share software? This might be called 'comp.os.386bsd.contrib'.
-
- I if found just a bug in /sys/kern/kern_execve.c, should I post to
- comp.os.386bsd.bugs or c.o.3.kernel, just because my detected effects could be
- for interest for the latter group as well? And if I fixed the bug on the fly,
- should I also send it to c.o.3.ann? Similiar things might happen with
- network related things.
-
- BTW, when the AT&T/USL or similiar junk should come up again, where will it
- go? I assume from the previous stories (before alt.suit-bsdi ?) was created,
- the articles were scattered around everything that had *.unix.* in its name.
-
- *** I am not against a new group comp.os.386bsd, but why should it be a whole
- *** tree directly? Confusion will be built-in.
