So, I'm not sure there's a CVS tag for what actually got shipped. I suggested 5.0DP1 because you could do a binary install. However, things have improved usability and stability wise since then. If you are planning to build your way to 5.0DP1, you might do better to just go all the way to -current. If you do, please let me know. I've got a patch I need sombody with an SMP alpha to test ;) Cheers, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
