Quite nifty; 5 second boot times, and my system exactly how I left it the night before. Not terribly useful or desirable for a server though :) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
