There is the point! If no-one would ever take the risk of running -current on a bigger, more important box no-one would have the capabilities to test vinum and other large scale stuff in realistic environments. No my suggestion is to help those (brave) guys rather than screaming: "Fool, don't you know it's -current!?" The not so good point about the original request is that he is looking for private assistance, while the problem and - even more - the solution of it might be very interesting to all of us (more than much of the other ongoing threads, for sure).

Who should do it if not guys like him? If vinum had crossed my way before, I'd try to help - sorry. -- Best regards, Max mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
