This is the core fallacy; you should restate this as: "If none of them work, then FreeBSD is no longer a viable option because it will require me to do some work to help fix them". I'm sorry; the FreeBSD Project is dedicated to developing operating system code, not wiping your ass. You've received abundant offers of assistance requiring no more than minimal effort on your part, and turned them all down. This kind of selfish laziness is something we can all do without. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
