Thanks ... I've got a much better idea of what /etc/rc and
/etc/rc.local do now :-)

Just one thing tho' ... I don't have ldconfig, and I was sort of under
the impression that shared libraries weren't supported by RiscBSD yet.
Have I missed or misunderstood something? If shared libraries are new
since 4740 then will I have to install a newer kernel before I can
install apps that use them?

BTW is there an up to date change log for kernels and sets anywhere?

Cheers,


Miles
