I did not have one single problem. Quite often, if I do have a problem, it's my fault for not paying attention to detail or reading the latest documents. This probably holds true for many other people as well. In regards to the comment below about "finally" releasing a quality release, I would have to argue that it's far from being the first time. However, you probably did not mean it so literally. -CG On Thu, Sep 20, 2001 at 12:45:55PM +0100, j mckitrick wrote: > On Thu, Sep 20, 2001 at 07:33:36AM -0400, Kenneth Mays wrote: > | Hi, > | > | Ok, I know I was griping over little nuisances dealing with workstation > | setup issue but I am highly impressed by the release of FreeBSD 4.4.
