The only reason I haven't been using unstable is because gentoo doesn't use the update.sh. The Freenet Ebuild has it's own function to update Fred, but it isn't smart enough to download the right seed refs to unstable, and I've been too lazy to hack the ebuild, download manually, or make a bug report. LOL. I don't understand why there seems to be so much interaction between the two networks, it actually seems to me that there is only one network. Wouldn't it just take one node from stable finding an unstable node to completely link the two? They use the same protocol now, and it seems that nodes from the two networks would be 'introduced' to eachother. Anyway, I'm going to follow everyone's advice and switch to the unstable network. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
