Now that is an idea I can completely agree with, and it sounds like a wise thing to do. It'll give a lot of FreeBSD folks experience with it and it's various bugs/enhancements. I think it was Kaleb Keithley that I saw reporting his experiences with 2.7.2. Are you reading this, Kaleb? Perhaps this should be moved to FreeBSD-ports? > > -josh > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
