I was just observing that ports seem to be intended to install and run without additional tweaking. I was sending an FYI, in case there should be a change made to either qemu or sdl12 to make things "just work" again. I mean, if no one gives feedback on these things, they stay broken forever, right? (Not that I am expert enough to make the judgment that something is indeed broken; I am just posting my observation for the experts to digest). I love FreeBSD, and I want the newbies (of which I sort-of have graduated) to have a reasonably un-frustrating experience. Steve
