A normal user is not supposed to install the non-default f6 =20 (unfortunately skype requires it, so in case you come this way, =20 complain to the maintainer of skype to not provide enough instructions =20 for you). If someone installs f6, he is supposed to know enough about =20 the topic that he doesn't stumbles over this problem. If someone =20 stumbles over it, he doesn't know enough about it yet. f6 support is =20 experimental stuff, so expect problems. Bye, Alexander. --=20 I never failed to convince an audience that the best thing they could do was to go away. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
