Re: Unhappy campers

 First of all I want to say, that I like to support the idea of Andy to
 keep minix small. If you want something large go for GNU.
 I'm also against featurism. 
 However, undoubtly my wanted set of features differs from Andy's set.
 Therefore what I would like to see, is something which allows it to
 add features easily. If for instance device drivers are loadable, or
 easier to add as they are now, then the core and some drivers can be
 the standard PH minix. If people want to add something, then it is nice
 to have a mechanism with which you can do so, without having to meddle
 with things like fs/table.c kernel/table.c include/minix/config.h (for
 NR_TASKS) etc.

 Just a remark for the readers. As far as I know Fred is not physically dead. 
 If english is not your native language (just like mine) you might
 conclude otherwise from ast's words. Fred is only electronically dead.
