I downloaded the 2.2 Gamma - 970209 distribution package today and (as 
well as other 2.2 gammas) have had two problems that I didn't see in 
2.1.6:

1)  Setting Time Zone:  In 2.1.6, It takes into account UTC, and I was 
able to set my time properly (using Sysinstall)   However, in 2.2gamma, 
since Sysinstall Doesn't ask for UTC, I am stuck having an improper time 
being displayed..  I have to add -u to the date command to be able to get 
it to show right, and it adds GMT for the Zone.  

2)  X Windows:  I never saw this in 2.1.6, but when I load certain 
programs and especially my X servers themselves (VGA16 and SVGA) I get 
the following line on the console screen:

     /kernel medieval cmd XF86_SVGA pid 197 tried to use the non-present 
SYSVSHM.

I know what the medieval is, but I'm guessing that SYSVSHM was either 
removed or not placed in 2.2, and I'm not sure if it's really anything 
major, but wanted to let you know.

I like having FreeBSD, it's a nice way to get into UNIX while not having 
to be at work!  :)   Keep up the good work.
