Everybody knows that you did four things wrong: 1. Failed to read and act upon the error message that you posted (which does provide the right solution). 2. Sent a message to the freebsd-stable list that should have been posted to freebsd-questions. 3. Sent a message to a list without having attended to (1) above and thought about what you were doing. 4. Composed your email with Outlook Express. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
