	Hmm... maybe I'm not latching on to what you are talking about. The  
OS is built of a bunch of different components that can be loaded in  
and out without rebooting -- there isn't much relation to any current  
BSD kernel.

	What are the elements of a modular OS?

	Off subject: I wonder if Hurd will ever get anywhere?
