If all you are replacing is the kernel, you should be able to do a single test in an hour. If you are willing to spend 8 hours on this, then you should be able to go back 32 days, for a 1 day increment. If you are willing to spend 4 hours on it, and you pick a 4 day increment, you can go back 64 days (2 months). Do you have a bounding range? This may not take that much time, or you can put your SO in a bubble bath on two occasions (8-)), etc., and get it solved. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
