* David, perhaps you should try and figure out just what OS I am running:
* Orbit:root {104}# uname -a
* FreeBSD Orbit.qcsn.com 2.2-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #2: Fri Sep 19 13:56:36 PDT 1997 root@Orbit.aac.dev.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/ORBIT i386
*
* Now you tell me, is that before or after 2.2.2???
I don't know. All I know is that you built your kernel on 9/19.
Why does it matter whether it's before or after 2.2.2? What I need
(if I were David trying to debug your system), what I need is exactly
when you cvsupped (and cvs updated) your stuff last. Whether you did
that before or after 2.2.2 is really too large of a glanurality to be
of any help. You are tracking a moving target for christsakes, the
uname can say "FreeBSD-STABLE" for all we care (except that will
be confusing because of 2.1 and 2.2).
Besides, if I show you a uname that says "3.0-CURRENT Fri Jan 18
13:56:36 PST 1998", can you tell whether it's before or after 3.0R?
