A note of warning: we currently assume we can do whatever we want with this branch, including breaking it beyond repair. If more people add the branch to the cvsup collections then clearly the exposure makes it impossible for us to treat it as a private resource. Not a problem per se, but please speak up if you add the collection to the cvsup collection list so that we can keep that in mind when we start working on new things... I plan to have an ISO somewhere in the next week or so just to make it easier for people to get started... -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
