Personally, why a new source was not created so that anyone downloading FreeBSD, and conversely not familiar with its workings, would not have to go through this rigmarole is beyond me. If they wanted to keep a clearly obsolete version around for what ever reason it should have been so marked as such. For someone doing a fresh install, there is no reason to go this route, IMHO. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net
