Yes, I would like to know how to see what the changelogs are for each version of a file... I know it is possible, I have seen excerpts posted from them here occasionally. Re: -stable kernel and userland conflicts... I always do a make world whenever I CVSUP-stable.... mostly to get possible security fixes to -stable in userland code. And with the ease that FreeBSD allows you to do make world, it is really a 'Good Idea'(tm) IMO. -- David Cross ACS Consultant
