I would wait until a .2 release comes out, and only then use a 'test box' to install and see how things will work for me. If things work nicely in that test box, only then upgrade the machines running older stuff. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
