And it is likely to do that for a while :/ The VAX that runs ftp.luth.se is currently slightly ill (it doesn't boot), and soon they will cut the power for the computer hall for rebuilds. For a good picture of it follow http://www.ludd.luth.se/gallery/ludd1/1/ftp.luth.se_mark_IV-4.jpg and you will know that it won't easily be moved or supplied with power and cooling :) When all the vacations are over and the school starts again someone will kick it and apply liberal amounts of contact spray and all should be well again. -- regards/ Joakim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
