If so, I just "missed it" .... just wondering if it's an OK thing now to try and do this upgrade with precompiled packages to save myself boatloads of time..... Thanks, and thanks to all developers for making this cool upgrade happen! -Jr -- John & Jennifer Reynolds johnjen at reynoldsnet.org www.reynoldsnet.org Structural/Physical Design - some group - Intel jreynold at sedona.ch.intel.com Running FreeBSD since 2.1.5-RELEASE.
