Try the latest beta and see how well it works for you. Chances are it will work just fine. If not, you've probably saved yourself the trouble later anyway, in case no-one else reported your problem in time to get it fixed. Kris pgpjRNdF9R4pV.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: 6.2 Release delayed?
What do they mean by this ? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/schedule.html that schedule is the perfect world schedule. things have slipped. This has bothered me and has done so since I first started tracking this site back around 5.1 .. why is it the FBSD RELENG team can't take 5 minutes or so once or twice a week to update this site for all us mere mortals who try and plan service windows around items like this (similiar to Microsofts patch tuesday and such)? -Peter ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
