If and when everything works, and has been distributed on the net in the usual way, and we are convinced it is a solid, stable system, I might think about integrating into the main system. I don't think I want the headache of maintaining any more distinct systems than I have to. Actually, from what I understand, the 386 shouldn't require a large number of changes to FS or MM. This would argue more for integrating the 386 stuff into the main distribution than making a separate one. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
