This is true. However, stability is an issue AND I also want the newer things in -STABLE, like sendmail 8.12 (ducks), and even Soren's ATA based cdrecord so I can finally burn CDs on my arbitrary CDRW drive here. So I believe the properly phrased questions are a) "What is the stability status of the current changes to the ATA subsystem in -STABLE?". and b) "We'd like to know the first date (past today) that someone sups -STABLE who runs ATA devices, and sees no problems." and c) "We'd like to know the last date (past today) that someone sups -STABLE who runs ATA devices, and sees problems." If I've been too specific, I'm sure someone will hit me with a cluebat. =) ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< By definition, when you are investigating the unknown, you do not know what you will find or even when you have found it.
