	You should be able to get around the cups-base problem because
	we allow the system name to be overriden because most of the
	scripts query using 'uname' and not 'sysctl', so something like
	this should get you through (on csh):

	# setenv uname_S DragonFlyBSD
	(or FreeBSD, whatever floats the boat)

	That should do the trick boss! :-p

	Thanks for the excellent comments you provided on DragonFly.
	As a member of the DragonFly project, I highly appreciate it on
	behalf of everyone.
