Re: mtree verification output format
This is still very obscure; I'd like to see: size (was 1234, should be 5678) cksum (was 42424242, should be 69696969) ...so that it's clear what the meaning of the numbers is. In that case I think I would like to loose the ',' also. While you're at it, why not use single word verbs: size (got 1234 wanted 5678) cksum (got 42424242 wanted 69696969) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

It's less slow and much more reliable than mozilla and remains
the only available browser that can access most of the sites I
need to access.

Mozilla in all the variants I have tried is incapable of even
reliably downloading a file -- sometimes it works and sometimes
it turns it into complete junk, usually 20 Mbytes bigger than
the original. Useless.
Many of the secure sites I need to use (banks, universities,
etc.) refuse to allow access from any release 6 browser.
Linux-netscape-4.7{6,9} handles everything I want, sometimes
with minor glitches, but well enough. And I can leave it
running for weeks at a time without problems. That's good
enough for me. The alternatives that I have tried either don't
build or don't work and that means they are worse.

Thank you for the offer. At present, I don't much care whether Galeon works or not -- linux-netscape works well enough for my needs. I did not submit a problem report about galeon because I had much more serious problems on the machine in question and they needed (and still need) to be resolved first. If I can ever get anybody interested in making a version of FreeBSD later than 4.3 work on my laptop, then I'll have another look at the Galeon question, as it was for the laptop that I was trying to get it going. As it stands, 4.4, 4.5 and current all have badly broken PCMCIA support which makes them unusable. Fortunately, 4.3 does not have this breakage, but it would be a waste of time to play with galeon on such an old release.
