If you think that people ignore the README, just wait to see how many people ignore this mail message.... If you desire this to be done (and I have not looked at it, but from reading this email I don't have a problem with it) it should be documented in the README file. Otherwise next time I do my annual mtree cleanout it will probably get nuked, since I will have forgotten about this email by then. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
