I would like to think we would flip the switch before March 15th, but we still have a few details to pin down. For one, someone just totally reformatted /usr/src/Makefile.inc1, so I need to adjust my installworld_*k scripts to make sure they work right for either format. And for two, I'd like to pin down the problem with dhclient. I'm partial to March 4th as the date, just because it would be fun to say "It's time to March 4th"... Well, more seriously, I would prefer a weekday because so many other changes get tossed in on weekends, and we obviously have to make this change sometime SOON if we're going to have it in before 5.3-release. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
