Re: [lcd4linux] lcd4linux on FreeBSD ??

I'm afraid I can not. Not because it isn't possible, but I don't have 
any *BSD up and running here (and I don't have any spare time or 
computers to install it).

Another reason would be a namespace conflict: Who would like to run a 
programm called "anything4linux" on BSD? :-)

I think a port to BSD should be possible. There are some areas in 
lcd4linux which I think they are very linux-specific (ppdev() for 
parallel port access for example, or the various clients, which make 
heavy use of the /proc filesystem).

But all of these could be solved.

Any volunteers? :-)

bye, Michael
