I would recommend to recompile the kernel, too.. if you have not cvsuped, you just need to recompile the kernel.. what would it take? 2 minutes? 3 minutes if your server is slow at restart? > > if not a full re-install of FreeBSD.

If you use the 5-RELEASE option in the supfile it will not download alot of files. you have to change it to CURRENT. When stable comes out it will certainly be called 5-STABLE. (im too tired to lookup if its called 5-RELEASE, so dont pick me on that one...) /Bjorn What does this BUTTON DO? HEY! THE LIGHT WENT ON. WAIT A MINUTE, WHY ARE MY LETTERS THIS BIG? HMZ.. I DON'T LIKE THIS... MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BUTTON I JUST PUSHED... WAIT A SEC, MAYBE THIS helps... wow.. thank goodness..
