Please use a larger value" I am kinda wondering why this gratuitous change even took place. Couldn't the *software* made the conversion? Why the change on the user interface (of kernel building)? People thing easily in seconds. Not so well in milliseconds. I could see someone getting confused on how many millisecs in a second and use "800" which would fly under your radar, but be even quicker than the default. (it's not too late to change back... :)) -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
