Thanks very much for the info. :) I'm currently tracking -stable, but am contemplating switching to -release after 4.6 is out. One reason for this is that the freebsd web site specifically advises against "blindly" tracking -stable. And I'm afraid I'm not nearly technical enough to be of any help reporting bugs other than screaming HELP!! However, your statement here is good reason to track -stable as I normally don't let my ports get more than 24 hours out of date. -- -=Elden=- http://www.moondog.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
