I see no MAKEDEV.Local in src/release, MAKEDEV files are machine depenedent, so they need to be in the etc.i386 directory. MAKEDEV.local is machine independent so it belongs where it is.
I meant move MAKEDEV _with_ MAKEDEV.local. MAKEDEV is in etc.i386, and MAKEDEV.local is in etc. Should they at least not be together?
These are the instructions for the other scripts, see below.
Then they need a _small_ bit of updating.
AFAICSee, these are all for the 1.1.5.1 install floppies.
And are still in use by some folks who prefer the 1.x method of installing things. I am still using these, expect a revamp some time real soon now.
OK - I'll buy that. Why would anyone still want the 1.x method ;-)

Think multiplatform, but maybe this could safely be moved. This is the traditional BSD location for this source file.
I'll go for tradition. It needs some updating tho'. There are a few hard disks out there...
More 1.1.5.1 crud...
And stuff that still works 99% of the way.
Ok.
There is no such thing as a non-customizable file in /etc :-(.
Bummer. It is much better, now that most of the customising can be done _without_ messing with rc*. This idea should be taken as far as possible with other /etc files, leaving as clear as possible a distinction between files that one _should_ modify, _may_ modify and should preferably _not_ modify. I was Helping someone upgrade his production 1.1 box to 1.1.5.1 today, and the /etc area was a nightmare to do.
