Agreed. A new user shoudn't be trying the RC, but for completeness sake the cd should be looked at as if it were disk 1 fresh from a new release set imo. However, perhaps the RC is more concerned with code stability then with the package as a whole. If the situation is normal for RCs than I would suspect that to be the case. ________________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@bmv.state.me.us darren.henderson@state.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
