Why do you (and that's not just you, Steven) always expect the core team members to do all the work??? We've got 14 core team members, but more than 50 committers. Despite of this, everybody else (yes, you, you, and also ... you! there) can contribute something to the system, as long as he can find one of the committers to feel responsible for his `product'. Did you ever get the idea that in particular most core team members do already know how to setup a disk, and thus have much less need for such a tool than many other people? Remember, this is a volunteer's project, and the driving force is (with a few minor exceptions) that somebody has some need for something, or feels it would be fun to do just this or that. We do provide this service for free, and we enjoy sharing our results, and maintaining what we think might be a not too bad operating system. But oh well, we do wanna have fun here -- we've already got way too much to do in all our day jobs (often also not so funny things there). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
