It's not just me. > Noone said you didn't have a problem, the attitude about something broken in -current and "fix it now" was the problem, -current is unstable, I personally have issues with running it on my development box right now, so I went back to PRE_SMPNG and will worry about it after everything is supposedly "fixed" , I suggest a similar solution for you. If you must have a working machine, 4-STABLE may be for you. I personally, do try and find out why I have issues like this, and try to provide debugging onfo if possible. Right now, I don;t have time due to my new position at VA, so have stopped tracking -CURRENT as closely. I did exactly what the handbook suggests. I don;t whine when my -CURRENT build is broken. > Guys/gals, stop telling me to just use 4.0 and fix the problem. How do I > "help myself" fix a problem with boot floppies??

You have missed the point, it has flown over your head, its now landing on the ground, you might want to go pick it up. Thanks for telling us about the problem, when one has time, after other issues are resolved, I'm sure it will be. Demanding that one if us fix it right now is not going to help your case. > This is definitly an election year... > > that obvious huh? -Trish __ Trish Lynch FreeBSD - The Power to Serve trish@bsdunix.net Rush Networking trish@rush.net VA Linux Systems trish@valinux.com O|S|D|N trish@osdn.com --- "So much style without substance.
