This time I > plainly missed the warnings. This situation has been mishandled from the very beginning. People did the changes to current, where people are expected to be able to handle such things, and never really went back to make the situation acceptable for -stable users when -current became 4.x-stable. I warned, but people don't heed warnings, they heed patches. Sorry this caused you trouble. The instructions ought to be corrected, IMHO. -- Daniel C.
