I know the feeling, I haven't been ablt to build world on this slow machine of mine for ages. This is why I'm still running on a 5.x build of late April :-/ % uname -v FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Thu Apr 25 01:11:09 EEST 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GALADRIEL But whatever. I can still test most of the work I'm doing, being mostly interested in manpages and SGML docs. You have a point though, no objections from here. CURRENT is approaching the -RELEASE of November every day, and is still somewhat fragile for me ;) -- Giorgos Keramidas - http://www.FreeBSD.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The Power to Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
