[»] Not compliant ....
by Janos Mohacsi - Jul 14th 2003 03:17:36

Dear maintantainer,
Your FreeBSD boot-rescue system this way is not very compliant to the FreeBSD standard:
- You dump all the utilities to /usr/bin. This is fairly non-standard on FreeBSD. You usually find tools that is shipped with FreeBSD under /usr/bin and /bin and all extra goes to /usr/local/bin. If you keep this way, the maintenance will be problematic.
- You should reference which FreeBSD version you use.
- You can allways use the FreeBSD CD1 for rescue purpose.
- You there is a live CD FreeBSD project that can (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/) be used as a live FreeBSD.
Regards, Janos
