Um, Terry, are you even on bugs@ ? The fact of life is, many folks who "try" -current that report bugs do not give enough details, so they in return get vague suggestions like these. Besides, people are told to resup when the newer -current has fixed the problem, and using a snapshot is an easy way to determine points of infection. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
