[...] FreeBSD uses GNATs for problem reports (PRs). You can find a description he= re: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/ Also the freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list is a good place to ask those questions (perhaps it's the best to ask there first and file a PR in coordination with the list). I'd recommend to consider the following alternatives before taken any furth= er action: - Unless you need any of the new features in FreeBSD 5.x switch back to FreeBSD 4.x (either 4.8 or 4.9 if you can wait approximately until 29 Sep 2003 (but installing 4.8 now and updating it to -STABLE or the next release should work without a hassle)) =20 - If you decide to stay with 5.x use 5.1 instead of 5.0 since it contains lots of bug fixes. IMO 5.1 is the least version you should use if you report any bugs on the 5.x branch, although you might even want to upgrade to -CURRENT and see if your problems are fixed). =20 Regards, Simon --J2SCkAp4GZ/dPZZf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/WfQGCkn+/eutqCoRAjnXAJ0Y7VlE7tkdh5SOc7i0UgEMjE+NwACeO5ys mH2L5FUPjyKTquKwy0zuclM= =Syyb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --J2SCkAp4GZ/dPZZf--
