I'm a bit underwhelmed here. I've been having a heck of a time finding this message. I went to the FreeBSD site and started looking in the archives by searching for "HEADS UP" in the -stable archive. That showed nothing newer than 11-Dec-1999. Then I went into the "browse" interface. In the "current" directory I only found messages for March 19. Several of these included messages "RE: HEADS UP: 3.x -> 4.0-STABLE upgrade instructions" but when I went to the "2000" hierarchy all I found were messages no more recent than 19-Feb-2000. Well in one of the responses to the message with the subject "HEADS UP: 3.x -> 4.0-STABLE" I found a near complete quote of what appeared to be the original message. I'm working with that in an attempt to make this upgrade. Goodness. What has happened on the FreeBSD website? Has it been totally abandoned? What does that say for the OS when we don't keep our metadata clean? thanks chris __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
