This is for my home system and I would prefer to do a source code update in place... I suppose this will be OK once the branch is tagged and a few people _haven't_ complained that the upgrade melted down their systems. I guess 4.0 will be a major change but I don't have anywhere to back up... - Mike H.

Also, that would be 4.x -STABLE, right? This is perhaps tangential, but if you wish to use gcc-2.95.2 for your projects, why not install the "egcs" port (it's actually gcc-2.95.2)? -- Evgeny The computing field is always in need of new cliches. - Alan Perlis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
