Since most sup users are the reticent technical types, I'll stand up and SHOUT ABOUT THIS REALLY LOUDLY. _DO_NOT_SUP_FROM_FREEFALL_ Freefall is _overloaded_. It is _sinking_. It is the sole cause for true concern about landfill subsidence in that area. If you are in the US, rummage through the .freebsd.org domain; I can resolve sup2, sup3 and sup4, I'm sure there are more that aren't in there yet. If you're overseas, there's likely a server nearer to you; here we have sup.au.freebsd.org, and sup2.au... at least. If you sup from Freefall, your hair will fall out, you will give birth to small hairy aliens that will eat your socks, and _weird_ things may happen to the state of your source tree. Pick a _single_ supserver, and stick with it. You may be half a day or so behind the bleeding edge, but that will let the commit mails get to you before you hose everything. > kim -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "wherever you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Banzai [[
