As Quenti suggests, perhaps there's a place we can make "options VMSWAP" be on by default, and let those few users who need to put "no options VMSWAP" in their config files, now that we can. An MI equivalent to the 'include "arch/i386/conf/std.i386"' that currently appears in the i386 configs, for example. I think there's scope for reviewing how several of our sample/base configs are maintained, especially with the new 'no ..' config syntax. There are probably some other good examples of almost-always-needed 'options' that make more sense as an explicit 'no' override. > i guess i will just give up, tho. :-) please don't, if there's a better way to be found. being obstinate about fixing ugliness and frustrations has led to most of the best things about netbsd. -- Dan.
