I would say it's very logical to assume anyone that is running -STABLE is reading the -stable mailing list. They should be more then aware about the priblem by now. Anyone that does a fresh install will not be bitten. Anyone that upgrades an existing system with the new release should not be bitten either, if sysinstall simply fixes yout fstab, mount, kernel and kernel source. Who's left? > Again, back it out. And get the same mess again? :-P Make sysinstall handle the problem instead. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
