Re: SMP changes and breaking kld object module compatibility
Totally off topic question that I've wondered for some time now - what does MFC stand for?

I don't think this is possible. 4.0 is the most stable release we've ever had, and I am confident that the 4.x series of releases will be the best in FreeBSD's history probably until 5.1 or 5.2. 5.x is going to be seriously torn up. Maybe not as bad as people thought, but still seriously torn up. It's already being torn up. I don't think there is any chance of making 4.x a short-lived branch nor do I think we want to. We should bask in the light of finallly having a good stable, high performance set of 4.x releases. What we have is a war between the customer's need for stability, other customer's need for speed, and the realities that developers face in not wanting to have to rewrite patches in order to MFC them, and wanting to have the opportunity to MFC improvements and bug fixes in the first place. The SMP patch falls somewhere in the middle, and I am aiming it towards the MFC side to make #3 easier. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: Staroffice 5.01?
Thanks all - I finally got it to work. It still stops and asks me to insert StarOffice 5.01, yes, no, cancel. Hitting cancel a few times allows the installation to continue. I had gotten this far before, but didn't try hitting cancel. Does anyone's installation allow them to use the web browsing or email component?

RE: Staroffice 5.01?
I was unable to install it. It complains about not being able to copy 'setup.zip' to '/tmp/sv001.tmp' and keeps bombing out. This is after pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a place with glibc2, etc. Did you have any trouble installing? Al On Wed, 24 Feb 1999, Daniel O'Connor wrote: On 24-Feb-99 Alok K.
