So many (most?) folks knew it was coming. Not newbies such as myself. What's on the web site -- and most of the doc links point to the Handbook -- is what potential new users see for the first time. (It's a little troubling if this was known for a year and nobody noticed the potential impact on the frontline doc.) > > (2) Is it really considered normal for stable releases to drop previously > > supported devices/systems? > > It is when you want to get new functionality in.

This is not what I was hoping for, but I no longer have the time to fix it either... my kernel hacking days expired along with the PDP-11. --Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
