I've been running makes for about 3 hours now, and it's still not done. Had to start clean once, because of a lib dependency but now all seems to be working OK.. hopefully I'll know soon if the whole mess works again. Next time somebody bitches about something not being in the packages section of a -release, send 'em to me.. I'll tell it like it is! To all the people who make -releases possible, my very sincere thanks to all the work and debugging that goes into one. I think next time, I'll just wait it out and grab the CD's. Gotta be lots less hair pulling. Now I'll shut up and leave things alone! Sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
