I don't mind custimizing the software again (if there are incompatibilities), just as long as it works. I ask this because I recently read a post on the list by someone who said that he was planning on updating the Gnome in the ports collection to the new Gnome 1.2. On an unrelated note: has anyone had difficulties installing the newest sawmill from ports. I am on a windows box, so I can't get the actual error, but I think it was LISP related. This isn't too important though. Sincerely, Caleb Land (bokonon@rochester.rr.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
