This has been mentioned several times, so I thought I'd point out that you can also search the FreeBSD mailing lists via DejaNews (aka deja.com). They seem to be quite up-to-date, for example, a search right now on a unique phrase from Nik's email message shows his mail on four different forums: http://www.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/qs.xp?ST=PS&svcclass=dnyr&QRY=%22HP+lpd+interaction%22&defaultOp=AND&DBS=1&OP=dnquery.xp&LNG=ALL&subjects=&groups=*freebsd*&authors=&fromdate=&todate=&showsort=score&maxhits=25 Starting at: http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml I enter '*freebsd*' in the Forum field, then enter my search keywords, hit search, and bingo, I usually find everything I need (and often lots more). While I certainly appreciate the efforts of the people at www.freebsd.org in maintaining the search lists there, I do find that Dejanews is often more convenient. Not to mention, available right now... Ken Bolingbroke hacker@bolingbroke.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
